About the Quilt: The Civil War Journals Block of the Month was inspired by the Civil War Journals collection by Judie Rothermel for Marcus Brothers Fabrics. Designed by Homestead Hearth, you can either make a larger quilt that finishes at 84" x 102" or four smaller quilts that are approximately 45" x 52" each. The Civil War Journals BOM focuses on the children of the 1860s. Each month, you will receive historical information along with stories and quotes from children who lived through the era.
Generals' Wives BOM with Kathy When: 1st Saturday of the month from 2:00pm-5:00pm... The first class is January 7, 2012Class Fee: $12.00 per month Kits: About the Quilt: Generals' Wives, is a new twelve month BOM program honoring the wives of 12 prominent generals who served during the Civil War. April 12, 2011 marked the 150th anniversary of the firing of cannons on Fort Sumter, South Carolina. It marked the opening day of the Civil War; a war that would divide families, friends and a country. It ultimately took the lives of over 618, 000 soldiers (about 2% of the population of our country at that time).
The generals who served during this time had been friends, classmates or roommates at West Point prior to the war. Theirs was now the task to destroy that friend to support the cause in which they believed. This was not an easy decision. The wives of these generals had to support their husbands as they wrestled with those decisions.
Nancy Gere has designed Generals' Wives, her proudest civil war fabric collection. Jerry Stube's quilt design (by the same name) is created to honor these brave women. We honor the wives of all soldiers who fight to preserve our cause and our country.
