The Tribute

The Tribute from the quilt book, Women of Grace & Charm: A Quilting Tribute to the Women Who Served in WWII  was designed by Barb Adams of Blackbird Designs. The book was published in October 2003 by Kansas City Star Books and is, I believe, Out of Print.

While the book is primarily quilting designs, I love this cross stitch chart which is included.
