Utah Beehive State Block 12 - May 10, 1869, two steam locomotives met at Promontory, Utah, for the “Joining of the Rails Ceremony,” where the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads completed the transcontinental route. The beehive was adopted, in 1847, as an official emblem and is the centerpiece of the Utah State Flag and the Utah State Seal. Other state symbols Sego Lily and Cherries. Finished block size 15in. - Our love for Baltimore Album Quilts made during the 1800's was the inspiration for our American Album Blocks. Each realistic album style block is filled with flowers, birds and a little American History. Each pattern includes full size numbered pattern with detailed embroidery instructions and Pearl's Easy Applique Techniques. Join us as we travel across America block by block and state by state.
