Outlander Block for March is up and a wee note about coming attractions

This month she has a quote from the first book about this scent.  Makes me want to read them all over again (I've read them 2 times already.....)

I've found a bunch of US printed 19th Century conversationals (Cocheco, American Print Works and Old Pacific Print Works), pictures only, unfortunately--all at the Smithsonian.  I'll be posting soon!

19th Century conversationals .....crescent to floral

Some of these may be duplicates of previously posted fabrics.  It includes more pictures of the 19th Century shirt made from Edmund Potter 'cheater' fabric.  It's a men's shirt and it's at a museum in UK (can't think of which one at the moment, possibly in Derbyshire)

Outlander block 2 is out--Jaime's Ghost!

Link to designer's blog is to the right (Lazy Daisy quilts..and reads).  She doesn't let us follow by email so I'm doing this so you won't forget (as I have in the past with some BOMs.)  Jaime is wonderful and I can see Claire at the window!  I may have to read these books all over again.  I'm thinking about buying the DVD for Season 1 (I'm guessing 2 should be starting soon.....I don't get Showtime)
