She Came From Kansas A Sampler Quilt Celebrating Remarkable Kansas Women

Description

Quilt blocks celebrating 12 Kansas women make up this commemorative sampler quilt. They create a classic pieced quilt, an ideal block-of-the month project.

A history lesson for each of these 12 fascinating women comes with each block. Follow Kansas’ proud history through well-known characters like Amelia Earhart and Carrie Nation. Learn about some born in Kansas who found fame elsewhere, like academy award winner Hattie McDaniel. Others made their historic mark in Kansas, like first female dentist Lucy Hobbs Taylor; Susanna Salter, the first female mayor in Kansas; and New Deal Congresswoman Kathryn O’Loughlin McCarthy.

Instructions are included for finishing your sampler quilt with alternate blocks and a pieced border. You can then turn to fun, smaller projects, including a Fly High quilt, a table runner and a paper-pieced doll quilt.
