Inspired by stories from diaries
and a reaccuring dream, Terry Clothier Thompson’s new collection
of quilt patterns brings the spirit of the Oregon Trail to life.
“Conestoga Quilts” has 6 projects to inspire you. Original
designs by Terry include “Gathering Flowers Wall Quilt”,
“Rocky Mountain Pass Pillow”, “Pine Cone Log
Cabin “ quilt, and “Cabin in the Woods.”
Two antique quilts round out the collection: “Ohio Star”
quilt and “Friendship Album” quilt. “Cabin
in the Woods” was made for beginners. Easy traditional
patterns for this wall quilt guarantee first time success. “Pine
Cone Log Cabin” is perfect for the quilters next step
in quiltmaking, using a rotary cutting method and quick machine
piecing. “Gathering Flowers”, a very small quilt,
combines applique and piecework . “Rocky Mountain Pass”
uses wool appliques to create a picture of covered wagons on
the Oregon Trail traveling thru the Great Plains and into the
mountains to California or Oregon. Read the history of the vintage
quilts “Ohio Star” and the”Friendship
Album”, both playing an important role in the westward
migration.
