Good Morning Bloggers!! I just read on Facebook that Primitive Place Magazine is asking their readers to post pictures of their collections ... hehe since I have a few collections (people who know me are hysterical by now) I thought I would take a few days and post them. Today is my newest passion, Civil War Quilts! Especially doll quilts. So, sit back with a cup of warm cocoa and join me on my journey of quilting!

| Underground Railroad (think I was there) Have you ever had a de ja vu moment?? Well I have, the Civil War is one of them. I feel so strongly attached to this period in history, truly believe I was there - I know, it sounds crazy, but I bet you all have a moment in time that you feel you have lived in the past. OK, moving on. I love the quilt hanging on the wall. It's an Underground Railroad pattern. My dear friend Penny coordinated a monthly sewing day for the two of us to created this wonderful, historical piece. Each block tells a story of the journey the slave made to acquire freedom during the Civil War. In this shot alone I have pillows, doll quilts and throw size. A small sampling of my ever growing collection!! |

| Quilt Dough?? No of course not, there is no such thing. But, with the holidays over it was time for a fresh look so I folded and stacked some of my favorite quilts into my dough bowl. Along with Longaberger, wooden bowls, rolls of twine and a scoop ... I loved the finished look. |

| A Cupboard of Quilts I have stacked mostly lap and throw quilts in this little pie safe. Hanging on the door is a "Friendship" quilt made by my special friend Penny for my birthday. You will get to know her quite well!! |

| Hang um and Roll um! I love variety! Here are a few different ideas for displaying quilts. Hang them from a peg rack or roll them on antique mill spools or simply tuck them in an antique water bucket!! Just love these little quilts - you can create so much variety in color and design! |
