Prairie Children and Their Quilts, 14 Little Projects That Honor the Pioneer Spirit

What was it like for children growing up on the American frontier? As you make these simple little prairie quilts, you'll discover what a significant role quilting played in the lives of the women and children we now call the pioneers.

  • Create 14 antique-style quilts that spotlight popular designs from the nineteenth century
  • See vintage photos and read actual diary entries from children who overcame many hardships to help settle the West
  • Make a game board quilt, a schoolhouse quilt, a prairie doll apron, a schoolgirl sampler, and more

From the Best-selling Author of American Doll Quilts

 

Author Kathleen TracyAbout the Author

Kathleen Tracy, an editor in the publishing industry for over twenty years, began making small quilts in 2000. She soon turned her hobby into a profession with her pattern and kit business, Country Lane Quilts (www.countrylanequilts.com). Kathleen holds a particular interest in antique quilts and the women who made them, and she hopes that her books inspire others to learn more about America's quilting heritage. She lectures to quilt guilds and teaches workshops on small quilts and their historical significance. Kathleen's first book, American Doll Quilts, published in 2004, was a Martingale & Company bestseller. She lives in Deerfield, Illinois, with her husband, two children, and their wheaten terrier.
