A Finish and New Book

Here is my Midnight Stars quilt along that Lori put up on her blog last January.

Last year was a busy old year for me but at last I am slowly picking up the reigns again and starting finishing off some small projects.

This lovely new book arrived for my bookshelf this week. Really pleased that my ancestors that left Wales to go to America back in 1800's town is mentioned.(Merthyr Tydfil). My GG grandfathers sister, husband and 3 children set off for Johnstown Pennsylvania  in 1881 and made a new life for themselves. Johnstown is also mentioned in the book .Lots of the Immigrants from the Welsh Valleys headed for there as their was plenty of work in the coal industry . Since finding out about my ancestors immigration I have always wondered whether any quilts went with them. Pretty sure I will never find the answer to this question but do hope so.
