Dont forget Eleanor Burns book,The Underground Railroad.
Also an interesting read is: Hidden In Plain View, this is not a pattern book just a reading book.
Check out Kansas Troubles, I love their fabrics and they do have stories that go with many of theirs I believe.

The Centennial Sampler and Reproduction Quilts from the Cival War period (1850-1865) by Judie Rothermel
Also look at books by Blackbird Designs(Barb Adams and Alma Allen)
I have several of their books Celebration of American Life
I just bought the book Gone to Texas she does pionerr quilts.
The Farmers Wife is a new book that just came out.
Hope this list helps Heather (Retrogirl) :wink: :wink: :D :D

Thank you everyone for your suggestions!! I'm planning a special surprise Christmas box and your input is greatly appreciated.
Marcia, How've you been?? I heard of that book and while I've not seen it, the description sounded like something I'd really like, too. Who knows, maybe I'll get into CW repros after my obsession with 30s :lol: like that will ever end! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Here is another great website for CW fabrics and patterns--
http://www.bonniebluequilts.com/
and don't forget about Judie Rothermel--she has gorgeous fabric and patterns and books too-
http://www.schoolhousequilts.com/
And if you shop around long enough for your friend, I am willing to bet you will eventually love the CW repros as much as you love the 30s!!

Like I said, these are similar to the Dear Jane blocks, and are really beautiful. I'm dying to start one in honor of my 3rd gr-grandpa who was at Appamattox.
