I completed an Under Ground Railroad quilt per Eleanor Burns' book. Have become fascinated with all aspects of the Civil War. Hubby collects Civil War relics, swords and certain period weapons. This book, The Civil War Diary Quilt is the life of women who quilted during the Civil War. Their hearts were poured out in their writings about everyday life and the uncertainties of their very existence. You see in your own minds eye the sufferings and courage these women really had with their loved gone off to fight a war that no one won. NO one wins at war.
I love to read about history. And through beautiful quilts that's great. My daughter and I are going to use some patterns from the book to make a paper quilt out of scrapbook papers. For our summer craft project. 😊

My goal for 2024 is to make a Civil War quilt and this was very thorough. It’s even educational as to what took place during the Civil War. I’m excited.. shipping was quick. The book was in great condition.

I bought "The Civil War Diary Quilt" book several weeks ago and I love it. We are both followers of the Civil War and this book puts me right there with the ladies quilting during the war. I am also a quilter and live the old quilts. The quilts are wonderful to look at and the diary entries are so expressive, makes you feel like you are living during that time. The only problem, if any, is that the patterns for the quilts are not included in black and white and must be copied from the book for paper piecing. If you ae interested in the Civil War or quilting this is a must for your collection.
Absolutely love this book! I debated for awhile about buying it, but I am thanking myself every time I pick it up and look at it. The quilt blocks are beautiful and I find that they will be easy to copy. But what I love the most about this book are the real life diary entries and the little biography of the woman who wrote those entries. It was amazing to read and find out where their mind set was during the Civil War. Fascinating read!!!
