Historical

Sandra Maxwell and Dolores Smith

Celebrate the lives of 12 historical women who dared to question why women weren't afforded the right to vote with the Kansas City Star 2009 Block-of-the-Month quilt.

Each block tells the story of a woman who stood up against the conventions of the day, and whose life's work led to the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 allowing women to vote. Follow the decades-long journey of women's voting rights and gain a new appreciation for just how precious this right is.

Popular quilt designers Sarah Maxwell and Dolores Smith of Homestead Hearth show you how to make this quilt that honors these women who had the courage to fight for equality. In addition you'll find five original patterns inspired by these women of influence.
