Prairie Women's Sewing Circle Club

The art of quilting is rich in history. There are women, in untold numbers, who blazed the trail before us, leaving us with quilts and remnants of both fabrics and stories of how they lived, and what quilts meant to them. While the techniques of quilting for today’s quilter can be very different from those of yesteryear, why we quilt and what quilting means to us is very much the same.

We make quilts for basic warmth on the bed in which we sleep, for family and friends, to mark special occasions, perhaps to raise money for a cause dear to our hearts, or for the pure joy of it. Like our quilting ancestors, we also come together, as women in kindred spirit, to sew and share, and tell of our lives giving support to one another.

Each of the five PWSC Journey pattern packets includes six quilt patterns (one lap size quilt and five small/doll size quilts) along with six different, wonderful stories of what daily life was like for ordinary "Prairie Women".  They also have one bonus project in each Journey.

Prairie Women's Sewing Circle was an active club starting in 2009 through 2017.  Over 500 quilt shops in the United States, and many overseas had  very active clubs though the years.  While there are no active clubs in quilt shops anymore, you can certainly enjoy all of the stories of life in the 1800s, and all of the quilt patterns in your own home.
