Prairie Children and Their Quilts

by Kathleen Tracy
14 Little Projects that Honor the Pioneer Spirit

What was it like for children growing up in the American frontier?  As you make these simple little prairie quilts you'll discover what a significant role quilting played in the lives of the women and children we now call pioneers. 

  • Create 14 antique-style quilts that spotlight popular designs from the ninteenth century
  • See vintage photos and read actual diary entries from children who overcame many hardships to help settle the West
  • Make a game board quilt, a schoolhouse quilt, a prarie doll apron, a schoolgirl sampler, and more

Pieceful Gathering has kits put together for many of these quilts already and more will be coming out in the future.
