Lynn Wilder (Sew'n Wild Oaks) pays tribute to the brave women of the Packhorse Librarian Program, a government effort promoting literacy during the 1930s American Depression era. Her new Hearthstone collection of rich, warm tones come together to create the beautiful Bridle Path BOM quilt.

The women were fearless, 'plucky', and determined to improve the lives of their own families, in addition to improving the lives of the impoverished and illiterate.  Their courage is admirable and their stories need to be told, says Lynn.
