I'm extra excited about today's #FreedomQuilt #bookshelfbucketlist features that just arrived in the mail! Once I get a chance to dig into these I will also be creating two sew along classes to accompany them; ones kid's course and one adult course! Stay tuned, I'll let you know when these free courses are available on my YouTube channel! In the meantime, check out these awesome reads: #SweetClaraandtheFreedomQuilt by #DeborahHopkins, illustrated by #JamesRansome centers around Clara, a little girl and a slave on a plantation who dreams of being reunited with family, free. She learns of the #undergroundrailroad and is inspired to make a #FreedomQuilt in the form of a #quilt map of the plantation, so fellow slaves could find the way to their freedom. #HiddenInPlainView by #jacquelineltobin and #raymondgdobard investigates and tells the story of real life Freedom Quilts as well as the oral history of African American Slaves.  #booksandbobbins #blacklivesmatter #amplifymelanatedvoices #juneteenth #africanamerican #slavehistory #quiltclass #sewingclass #quilting #africanamericanquilts #letssew #letsread https://www.instagram.com/p/CBpVf-Fg87h/?igshid=1998hd6snwggi
