Very brave to jump in with the UGRR sampler after your first class but I have always found Eleanor's QID instructions to be a class in themselves and provide good support even for beginners. What a wonderful gift for your parents and how cool it has a place of honor in their home base!

The local guild meets in the morning when I'm at work and the closest quilt shop is an hour away. So, like you I'm really grateful for the group I've gotten to know on the web.

You started out with truly difficult piece work, such a brave girl!<br />I love it. I read a book called The Lost Quilter, this summer. Have you read it? It is based on a story of the underground railroad quilts. <br />Happy quilting!<br />Your blogging sister,<br />Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1307622517630413687.post-27408941589120636822015-08-04T08:21:02.490-06:002015-08-04T08:21:02.490-06:00Wonderful quilt Val!

Sampler quilts are a huge favourite of mine, and since I've been seeing a lot of Underground Railway blocks recently, I did some historical research. Was disappointed that historians all say there was no such thing. I don't think they're correct...and prefer to continue believing that this was a truly unique and innovative way that decent people helped runaways escape to freedom and a better life! Your parents not only have a beautiful quilt, they have a quilt with great meaning!
