Day 10: #Hobbies

This quilt was made by Jane Austen, her sister, Cassandra, and their mother.

On May 31st 1811, Jane wrote to Cassandra, “Have you remembered to collect peices (sic) for the patchwork - we are at a standstill”.

One of the #hobbies I would love to try is quilting, but I really don‘t have the down time needed to devote to it (I can barely keep up with reading!). But, should I ever have the time, this book provides patterns for quilts inspired by Austen‘s works. #200PnPCovers

mabell, CrowCAH

LeahBergen My post today is on Jane‘s quilting, too. 😆 2y

TEArificbooks My mom is a quilter and she is looking for a new project. This might work for her. 2y

mabell Great choice! I would love to see how designs have changed over the years. It definitely is a huge time commitment to quilt (says someone with a half finished quilt in the basement). 2y
