In 2019 Barbara Brackman organized a BOM called Hospital Sketches. The purpose was to commemorate the brave women who left their homes and loved ones to help wounded Civil War soldiers. Each month we had a new applique block and there was a story of another Civil War era hospital and the women who helped care for the soldiers there. One of the most famous women was Louisa May Alcott. There was to be an exhibit of some of the finished quilts at the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, MA in 2020, but because of the pandemic it was put of until 2022. That gave me time to finish my quilt, I still had the borders to do. I had the quilt professionally quilted by a local quilter, Rose Edgren. She did an amazing job! It was the first time I had a quilt quilted by someone else. My quilt was chosen to be part of the exhibit along with 14 others. The exhibit will run from July 20,2022 to October 1, 2022. I am thrilled beyond words to be part of this exhibit!
