The bluebird quilt, the heart of the story, is inspired by a single piece.
***
“Here. Before I forget.” Minerva broke into her thoughts.
Slipping a long, fair hand into a pocket, her friend removed a single, neatly
pressed rectangle of printed calico.
“Oh! Just look!” The print—destined to be the center of a
quilt Angelica and her friends had planned to sew round robin—was a
distraction. On an ivory background, a pair of bluebirds flew on either side of
a brown nest containing a clutch of eggs. It was a triumph of the most modern
method of textile printing, executed by a craftsman who had used a Dutch nature
print for his inspiration.
“This is from a Philadelphia shop,” Minerva replied. “Even
my William allows it is as handsomely done as any English piece he’s seen.”
“What a wonderful choice for our center! Such a sweet scene—
and so many nice colors to work with!”
