Overview

Inspired by the beloved stories of Laura Ingalls Wilder, Prairie Quilts & Decor provides a variety of quilt patterns and stitching projects reminiscent of pioneer life as it was experienced on the Midwestern frontier in the 1800s. Expertly guided by author Johanna Wilson, enthusiasts can now preserve the tales of a lost era in American history by sharing with the generations the experience of quilting as remembered on the television series Little House on the Prairie.
