Back Cover Information

We know the adage is "Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys," but what if the mamas always dreamed of being cowgirls? No one said it would be wrong to dream......We think that's why the Western mystique has remained a popular theme in home decor. Indulge in your inner cowgirl (or cowboy)

  • 7 quilts
  • 5 coordinating projects
  • cowboy stories and art collected by Barbara Brackman, author of the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns and America's Printed Fabric 1770-1890
