Join Golden's life on a prairie farm in the early 1900s. A sampler quilt of 20 blocks, illustrated by diary entries and photos of the lively grandmother of coauthor Kaye Spitzli, are the backbone of this book. The sampler was designed by the three talented quiltmakers who make up Of One Mind Spitzli, Christina DeArmond, and Eula Lang.

About the Author:

Kaye Lawson Spitzli grew up in Eudora, Kansas with a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who sewed and quilted. Her sewing education began in her childhood and there were always plenty of quilts to "dream" under, whether it be on the bed, strung over the clothesline, or still in the quilt frames in Grandma's front room. Golden was her grandmother.

Eula Scranton Lang grew up in Illinois. She too had the heritage of a mother who sewed and quilted. Eula learned to embroider as a young girl and made her first quilt when she was in junior high school. Her mom always encouraged her to sew and allowed freedom of trial and error, no fear (thanks, Mom!).

Christina Slankard DeArmond also grew up in Eudora, Kansas. As a child, she loved to play ball, ride bicycles, roam around the creek with her brother catching ringneck snakes and basically, be a tomboy. After she married and moved to Minnesota, she took quilting classes with her friends to learn to make quilts and also to have a time of fellowship with them.
