The Pattern Book for Harriet Powers's Pictorial quilt arrived yesterday. I'm lingering over each page, the quotations for each panel, and the wonderful drawings from Harriet.
One of my favorite panels so far, a dove, since the doves had sent Jim on his final journey. The caption reads, "John baptising Christ and the spirit of God descending and rested upon his shoulder like a dove."
Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice to have the doves in a block. I look forward to seeing that one completed.
Hugs, Angela.
what a treasure....
ReplyDeleteNow that I know about the book, I will keep my eyes open, you never know what you will find in our thrifts;)

Do the drawings have to be enlarged? I am going to be on the lookout for this book.
ReplyDeleteSure, you'll sew a perfectly!
ReplyDeleteGood day!
I came across this site about a reproduction of one of Harriet Powers quilts.
