 Quilting Friends,
     I have been studying Lewis and Clark's Corp of Discovery and the role that Sacajawea played in it.  It has been fun to research the concepts and I figure I'm informed enough to be dangerous by now! 
     Jean Baptist Charbonneau was about eight weeks old when his mother, Sacajawea, strapped his cradleboard on her back and the journey began.  Young mother and infant endured many hardships on the history-making trip.  She was "indespensable" to the success of one of the greatest explorations in all of American history.  Her negotiation skill, translation abilities, awareness of Indian culture, familiarity with the territory and its flora and fauna, and her almost daily provision of roots, berries, and herbs made her a respected member of the group.  Since the end of the expedition, much has been written about this amazing teenager.  I hope that you are anxious to learn more about her.

 

 

Sacajawea Booklet

Jane has put together a booklet of guidelines to assist you in creating your own original design based on Native American designs.  A photo of a piece of Native American jewelry inspired Jane's fabric selection.  This quilt can be as small or large as you like.  Jane's is made to fit a queen size bed.
