Hobo Sign Quilt...

I don't know what possessed me today, but I got started on the Hobo Sign Quilt that I have been wanting to make!  Each block will finish 6" square.  The book, Hobo Quilts, contains patterns for 60 blocks.  Not sure how many I will make, but I would love to make them all. 

I was not aware that hobos had their own "written" language until I had seen hobo quilt blocks on some blogs that I was reading.  I instantly became very interested in finding out more on the subject.

A Beating Awaits Your Here:



Anything Goes:



I started a 3rd block, but decided to quit for the night.  Hope to get it finished tomorrow : )

Happy Quilting...

I saw that author interviewed on one of the public TV quilting shows. It was really interesting.

I like the cat one for " a kind woman here".
