Celebrating My Second Patriot in Buckskins

I  finished my second block for Patriots in Petticoats - yaaa me!  This block is called Ann Bailey and she was quite a fiesty woman.  I would have been delighted to sit beside her and listened to her stories about how she dressed as a man in buckskins and fought the Indians!  She built her own log cabin at the young age of 70 and lived in it for 13 happy years.  This block was a hefty afteroon's challenge, but enjoyable as I daydreamed about what this woman's life must have been like.  


Thanks for stopping by,
