Girl Scout Collectors' Guide A History of Uniforms
Each informative chapter describes different aspects of pioneer life and how quilts figured into that — from the signature quilts that were sewn to say goodbye to friends and family, to the way quilts were used to protect fragile dishes that women hoped to bring safely to their new homes. At the end of each chapter is an easy, quilt-themed craft project. For example, after learning about signature quilts, my daughter used the template in the book to make bookmarks for everyone in our family. She signed her name on one end, and our names on the other. It has been a fun way to extend her interest in pioneers, and to learn a little more about their lives and history.
