I liked your story as a quilter and an RN.  Lots of patients bring in hand made quilts, knit or crocheted blankets, pillows, slippers etc.  I always ask who made it and for its story, puts people at ease to talk about something other than their illness.   

I don't know of a block for nurses either but I was thinking maybe something with hearts.  Just an idea.

I've made some. Right now I have a couple tops waiting to be quilted. They'll get finished one of these days.

Ohh adn books are 40% off right now? Thanks, Cindy! I'm guessing you make lots of civil war quilts?

Some great books you might want to check out: 'Civil War Sewing Circle', 'Civil War Quilts', 'Anniversay Quilts of the Civil War', all available at Connecting Threads. Also one more that I can't recall right now.

That's good advice, Linda. But I'm just looking for a quilt to make to match my story. Maybe someday I can write a book. HA- Better worry about finishing the quilt first:)

Thank you for reading, Barbara, I'm glad you liked the story. I have lots of trouble posting on blogs too. Thanks for trying :)

Be careful about using the civil war block in your book. I was reading yesterday on that site their rules and use of the blocks, so make sure it is ok with them.

Very nice story--I tried to post on the blog but my computer disagreed. The quilt block from Shannon does look perfect.

Me too, Carol Ann, the civial war nurses story makes it extra special. I tried to follow the Barbara's Civil War blog, somehow I missed that one! Thanks ladies:)
