  The sister quilters behind Yellow Creek Designs put a fresh twist on American tradition with 13 Civil War-inspired quilts, table runners, and more.   Quilt designers Jill Shaulis and Vicki Olsen have always been drawn to the warm colors of antique quilts and the connection they feel to yesterday’s quilters. But while they draw inspiration from tradition, they can't resist putting their own twist on it.   In Simple Blessings in Patchwork, they combine traditional sampler quilt blocks with delightful wool appliqué, hand-worked hexagons, foundation piecing, and more. With their step-by-step instructions, you can explore a variety of techniques as you sew bed quilts, samplers, wallhangings, and table toppers and runners, all with a warm, traditional style.

  “[A] very useful little reference book . . . for members who strive to achieve an accurate set of rigging lines on their models.”—Bottleships   Employing superb, clear draftsmanship, this book illustrates each and every detail of the rigging of typical period fore-and-aft vessels.   The rigging of period ship models is arguably the most complex task that any modeler has to accomplish; the intricacies can be daunting, and visual references limited. The author’s first book, Rigging Period Ship Models, was a triumph of clarity for those needing to decipher the complexities of square rig and has now sold in multiple editions. This book does the same for fore-and-aft craft and deploys three typical eighteenth-century types—an English cutter, a three-masted French lugger and an American schooner. Some 200 diagrams show clearly where each separate item of standing and running rigging is fitted, led and belayed. Whatever the requirements of the modelmaker, all the information is here.   This edition brings a visual clarity to the complexities of period rigging and will delight anyone with an interest in the rigging of traditional fore-and-aft craft.   “This book is naturally highly commended to its target audience, but anyone with an interest in sailing ships will find it an interesting source of information that can be very hard to find.”—Firetrench   “Not just for modelers but also a boon to traditional seafarers and readers of historical fiction.”—Julian Stockwin, author of To the Eastern Seas

  True Tales of Life & Death at...

  The story of a historic Newport, Rhode Island, landmark shadowed by tragedy. 
   
  For 150 years, Fort Adams guarded the strategic entrance to Narragansett Bay and Newport Harbor. It was the largest coastal fortification in the United States, and though the site never saw a battle, its history is shadowed with dark tragedy. The fort witnessed its first death in 1819 when Private William G. Cornell shot Private William Kane point-blank and without remorse over an unknown argument. Unfortunately, more tragedy would follow. In 1871, twenty-eight-year-old George F. Drake slit his own throat after his sweetheart ended their relationship. And in 1879, Private Franz Koppe was mysteriously attacked, later dying of his injuries. The Spanish influenza arrived at Fort Adams in 1918, killing five soldiers in one month. Through these stories of life and death, author Kathleen Troost-Cramer traces the history of this national landmark.
