The block I'm showing you today is called 'The Longest Morning'. In this passage Emma writes in her diary
"...It is now about eleven o'clock, and the longest morning I ever lived through. I threw myself on the bed late last night, or rather early this morning, without undressing, feeling if I did not take some rest I would be sick. I lay awake a long time in spite of heavy eyelids, listening to the occasional cannon reports..."

Have a wonderful weekend! Remember to post your progress on the Civil War Diary Quilt Group on Flickr.
I will be working on 'Degradation' out of Rosemary's book next. Hope that you have a great weekend! A little over a week until International Quilt Market.... the next couple of weeks will be a whirlwind. I'm looking forward to telling you all about it!
Happy quilting and perfect stitches to you!
