LONGWOODS QUILT IS COMPLETE

The Longwoods Quilt is now complete!  Thank you to all that helped me in making this quilt.  It has taken about a year  with many meetings to decide which blocks to use.  Well, we came up with 30 blocks for the settler quilt  with a story to go  each of these blocks. This quilt is to honour the women during the War of 1812.  There are also barn blocks painted on 8' x 8' pieces of special wood that are then displayed on barns along HWY 2 / Longwoods Road between Wardsville and just past Delaware Speedway.  Many organizations in the area painted these wonderful barn blocks and I have books with the route and more information at the store.
