Ladies of the Civil War Blockof the Month

We have started out new Block-of-the-month club at Ladies of Liberty.

Our first Ladies of the Civil War block-of- the-month we learned about Clara Barton. If you missed this one, it is still available.

Our second  is ready for pick up now. This month we are learning about Dr. Mary Walker, the only women awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor for her Civil War service.
It is not too late to join the fun! It is only $2.00 per month!

Second 'Civil War Ladies' question today! Are you ready?

Who was the first woman awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for her work as a surgeon during the Civil War?

If you know the answer, email it to me at: ladiesofliberty@hotmail.com and if you have the correct answer your name will go into a drawing for a fat quarter bundle on Friday.
Don't forget we start our $2.00 block of the month in August with our 'Civil War Ladies' theme. Sign up now!

The answer to our first 'Ladies of the Civil War' trivia question was Clara Barton!
Clara quickly realized the need to get supplies to wounded soldiers on the battlefield and established a system of helping to meet this need. She quickly became one of the highly-regarded nurses of the Civil War and was appropriately named “The Angel of the Battlefield” for helping thousands of wounded men over the course of the war.
Congratulations to the winner of this question, Deb R., thanks for entering our contest! We have a nice Civil War fabric fat quarter bundle for you.

First Ladies of the Civil War trivia question

Today starts our Ladies of the Civil War trivia game! If you know the answer to our question - email Diane at ladiesofliberty@hotmail.com with the answer. All correct answers will go into a drawing on Friday for a Fat Quarter bundle of Civil War fabrics!

Who was known during the Civil War as the "Angel of the Battlefield”?

Ladies of the Civil War Block of the Month

Our new block of the month "Ladies of the Civil War' will start in August! This is our $2.00 block, you get a pattern, 9" X 11" piece of fabric and a history of a Civil War lady. You add your own fabric to make the block.
We will kick this off with a trivia contest on Facebook. I will post a question about a Civil War... lady each week (on Monday) and if you know the answer - email me with that answer. All correct answers will go in a drawing and at the end of each week I'll pick a winner from them. Winners will receive a fat quarter bundle of Civil War Fabrics!
We will start this game on Monday (tomorrow) and run it through Monday, August 6th.
