Quilter's Newsletter - October/November 2011 - 42 The Fabric Barrows’ 31-piece fabric collection picks up themes from the Pony Express era. A vine tone-on-tone print represents a leather-tooling design found on saddles. Another of her designs was created from a newspaper photograph of two Indian scouts representing those believed to have assisted the Pony Express. A mini-check is reminiscent of fabric popular during the mid-1800s, another print is called paper bag, and yet another print sports a motif of stars taken from a Civil War flag as a nod to the relationship between the Pony Express and the war. “The North wanted California to side with them because of the gold but many of the Californians were from the South,” Barrows said. “The Pony Express service crossed the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains, becoming the West’s most direct means of East-West communications before the telegraph. It was vital for tying California closely to the Union just before the Civil War.” The Pony Express delivered two key pieces of news to the West: the announcement that Abraham Lincoln had been elected president and Lincoln’s inaugural address. Another fabric in Barrows’ Pony Express collection is a print bearing the Jodi Barrows’ Pony Express Sampler (SNS Publishing, Inc., 2010) gives step-by-step instructions to make the quilt using her Pony Express fabrics. CLOCKWISE from above: Four 4˝ eight-pointed stars remember notorious Pony Express riders. The center block is the stables in St. Joseph, Missouri. The flying geese symbolize South Pass, through the Rocky Mountains. The bear-paw block represents the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The blue and tan Pony star block is Fort Kearney. 42 QUILTERS NEWSLETTER • OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2011 Table of Contents for the Digital Edition of Quilter's Newsletter - October/November 2011 Quilter's Newsletter -
