Geese has been a popular pattern from as early as the 1830s up to the
present. They were used as borders, as part of the frame of
medallion quilts and even the theme of a large quilt. Sometimes they
were used in vertical stripes with every other stripe “flying” in
different directions. There are many examples of “Flying Geese”
quilts from the 1840 to present day. </b></span></span>

about 20 have made it to the present day and have been documented.

quilts were used in a novel way in the South. The ladies of the
south formed many societies specifically to raise money for the
purchase of gun boats to protect coastal communities. “Mary Jane
Harter of Greensboro, Alabama, contributed two magnificent quilts
worked with floral design in applique and embroidery. One of the
quilts was “purchased” and then returned for resale four times,
while the second was “sold” twice and then given back to Mrs.
Harter (Bets and Ramsey, Southern Quilts, 1998). The effort
eventually failed as the cost of a gun boat at that time was $80,000
and that goal was never reached. The money raised was used to
purchase hospital supplies. </b></span></span>

Perse is a style in which a rather small amount of fabric can go a
long way in the design sense. Quilters usually cut up Chintz and
rearranged the floral elements to make a new applique design on a
subdued background fabric. The term chintzy was originally used
because women guarded their chintz instead of trading fabric as was
their custom. Chintz was highly valued. The making of Broderie
Perse began in the early 1840 and lasted for a period of about 25
years. Chintz was no longer used in the period between 1870 and 1880
due to higher prices caused by tariffs. The log cabin quilt became
very popular as well as crazy quilts in the period following the
Civil War. </b></span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,serif;"><b>Signature
quilts were very popular during the Civil War. These were usually
made by various groups of people. One might make a signature quilt to
celebrate an occasion such as a wedding. “When money was needed to
help soldiers in the Civil War, women developed the practice of
raising funds with quilts. These quilts raised money via raffles or
by charging the signer a fee per signature. Sometimes an entire
family would sign one block each. More often a quilt was signed
with hundreds of signatures and then raffled off, bringing in as many
funds as possible from a single quilt. Stories are told about quilts
being re-donated by raffle winners, two or three times over, so
that the one quilt could make as much money as possible for the cause
they all believed in. (http://www.antiquequiltdating.com/AlbumandSignatureQuiltHistory1830-Today.html).”</b></span></span></div>

of the war, she was telling the ladies of Henry Ward Beecher's church
in Brooklyn how she had bound the stumps of new amputees with old
cloth bags when she had nothing better. Suddenly, she asked the
startled women to rise, lift their dresses, and drop one of their
many petticoats to the floor. The collected garments filled three
trunks, and within a few weeks, Bickerdyke was using the petticoats
to bandage the terrible sores of prisoners released from
Andersonville in Georgia. (Alice P. Stein, 1999,

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Considering that the
petticoats during this time were made mostly of muslin, I decided to
make muslin a significant element in this quilt. The folded panels
are embellished with lace which might have been found as decorative
insets or edges on the donated petticoats. All lace is hand made by
myself except the finest one which is machine made. The other types
are made from the three fibers, silk, cotton and linen, which would
have been available during the Civil War. The outside border is hand
crocheted cotton lace. </b></span>

<span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Many
quilts intended for soldiers' use were rapidly and crudely made. The
need for bedding was critical as most soldiers thought that the war
would be over in 90 day. As the colder months approached, the need
increased and the folks at home were producing quilts as quickly as
possible. Checks, stripes and plaids were popular fabric patterns.
The need for warm quilts was so great that the women would use
anything available to provide comfort to the soldier in the field or
in the hospital. Often quilts were taken off the home bed and split
in two to make two quilts to be sent to the field or hospital.
Curtains and even rugs were used to keep soldiers warm. Military
camps as well as civilian homes were raided by both armies to obtain
supplies and quilts were highly sough after. </b></span></span>

quilts constructed during the Civil War. Many of these patterns are
from northern quilts as material was still being made during the
Civil War. The South was not so lucky as the Union blockades
prevented the importation of yard goods. While a yard of gingham may
have sold for 15 cents in the North, it was $15 in the South. Many
southern ladies had to resort to a crude fabric, Lindsey-Wolsey,
which is shown in the Mother Bickerdyke quilt. This quilt started
out as a block of the month from Anna Louise's Needle Arts. The
civil war battlefield vignettes fill in with the pieced blocks on

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>This
quilt was made as a Christmas gift for my daughter Nancy. It is
based on a quilting style originally from Europe brought to America by the Dutch settlers. It is a
technique using floral prints along with other material which have
at least one color in common. Usually these quilts are called
“border” quilts as they have some kind of medallion in the middle
which blends colors and patterns from border to border as the quilt
increases in size. Sometimes the fabrics are so closely matched it
is difficult to distinguish where one starts and the other ends.
This “blending” results in a visually rich surface. This style
of quilt was very popular in Revolutionary War times but finally lost
favor during the 1840s. </b></span></span>

During a very hot weekend, we had many visitors interested in the fine fleeced Shetland Sheep. I talked with many people about the grading system and showed them around the booth for a "feel test." I had just received roving on Saturday morning form Ohio Valley processing mill and was very excited about the product. All of the roving was marked as to the animals name and the AFD. I had roving ranging from 20.4 up to 30.4 and many examples in between. Oddly enough, most of the roving we sold was in the higher 28 - 29 micron range. A pretty gray roving at about AFD 29 was the most popular. I did sell to some spinners which I knew were very experienced. They bought mostly the low 20s stuff and the AFD 26 wool which I had blended with alpaca, silk and angora. All of the Shetland rovings this year were natural colored as I didn't have time to dye any as I just received it on Saturday morning.<br />

I really appreciate Kelly sending me the brochures and the beautiful T shirt. As I was wandering through the vendors area, a lady who makes T shirts noticed the sheep logo and wanted to know if she could use it. I told her that it was a trade mark. She was very impressed with the symbol as she says that the only art she has is either very realistic, which gets lost in the stitching, or cutesie. I don't know who did the art but GOOD JOB! The T shirt was very comfortable even in 93 degree heat. The brochure is also wonderful. I was a little stingy with them as I only put a few out and made sure that those who had a real interest received a copy. <br />
<br />
The best part of the weekend was being able to talk with Cyndee Wolf and Garrett. Sure do wish we all lived closer. I plan on visiting Cyndee on my next trip to Columbus to see my daughter. After all of the negatives on the net, it was great to have a conversation with like minded people without worrying about being politically correct. <br />
<br />
Another highlight of the weekend was winning the fine fleece class in the wool show. WS 1120 came in first and Wintertime Bug was second out of six fine fleece. The judge had nice things to say about both fleeces. She thought they were very nice Merino!?! One of my friends set her straight at the end of the show. <br />

Still have to see if some of the Whistlestop ewes settled. I didn't breed them to the Whistlestop ram until late January.<br />
<br />
Lamb'z Own Fiona had a very nice little moorit with a few white hairs on the crown. She is very small but is doing well. Fiona had twins last year and they were both small when born. One stayed small but the other seems to be growing to normal size. Father is Sheltering Pines Grand Luxe.<br />

Two other Grand Luxe babies were delivered by Wintertime Bug. They are beautiful black with white spots. I am excited to see how they turn out. The ewe will stay here and the ram is already spoken for.<br />

Another delightful surprise concerns Grand Luxe. He is such a wonderful ram in type and wool that I just kind of let him have his way and really didn't interact with him unless necessary. I was standing next to the cattle panel taking pictures when he came up and seemed to want to be petted. His brother Wintertime Barqs and frankly Under The Son's Duroy and Whistlestop 1107 have all turned out to be big babies wanting cookies and a chin scratch whenever there is a human about. Grand Luxe was rather stand offish until yesterday. Anyway, I had a chair in with the sheep and sat down only to have Grand Luxe come over and want to be petted. He stayed with me for about 30 minutes just enjoy being petted and having his ear scratches. I was even able to clean out the lanolin under his horn. What a gentleman. <br />

Fed in the morning and was gone all day to the Algonquin Mill Spinners and Weavers meeting until about 5. I just knew that Kenna would wait until it was cold and miserable and I wouldn't be around to have her lamb. Right On! <br />
<br />
This is Kendora out of Lambz Own Kenna and Whistle Stop 1107. I really like both parents and was excited that Kenna had a ewe. That make 6 out of 6. Kendora is a beautiful black katmoget. <br />

Once at noon and then sometime in the evening. About half an hour before I go out, they are lined up. Waiting, watching, impatient. They watch for me as I walk in front of the window in the door to the back porch. Some call to indicate that they haven't been feed in all of their natural lives and how can I be so heartless to let them go on starving!<br />
<br />
How do they know when it's time?<br />

She had a number of beautiful punched mats and I vowed to finally start a project I had been planning for almost two years.<br />
<br />
Proddy mats have fascinated me since I became aware of their existence. They have a long history in the UK and were even used as funeral sprays during the winter when no flowers were available. I attended a class at Sauder Village to get the basics and purchased a book by <a href="http://www.geneshepherdstore.com/Gene_Store/Books.html">Gene Shepard</a>. This book included instructions on making many different prodded flowers along with a pattern for this rug I eventually completed.<br />
<br />
The background is punched with an Oxford needle using 100% wool yarn. The rest of the yarn is made from wool strips, most of which have been hand dyed. I am pleased with the results. <br />

I was beginning to find more small balls of hand spun yarn and decided it was time to make another one to try to get rid of all of these small hanks of yarn. As I was making the mat, I kept finding more hand spun and kept putting it into a bag so I could use it on the rug. Well, I ended up finishing the rug, but had more yarn in the bag then when I started. Looks like there is another rug in the future. (please disregard the blanket in the background)<br />

That is what happened with this quilt.<br />
<br />
I have purchased about 15 quarter yards of material to make a "Home of the Brave" quilt. I had stripes and plaid to try to make it as masculine as possible. I had all of the blocks cut out and took a few of the finished ones to my "Yesteryear Quilters" group to get their take on the design. After examining the material, the consensus was that it would shrink and wrinkle when washed. Not the kind of thing to make to honor a fallen soldier.<br />
<br />
I took the blocks home and threw them in the washer and they came out a mess. Even ironing couldn't repair the damage. I purchased new material and made a very nice quilt in flannel which I will write about later. Anyway, these original blocks were moved from here to there and I was finally on the verge of throwing them out. I had already tossed the ones which I had cut but hadn't sewn. When cleaning my cutting table to get ready for a new quilt, I discovered the left over material. There was enough to make a small quilt. Should I throw it all away? It was not the first time I have placed a project in the back yard fire pit and given it a good burn! but this was not that bad. I decided to use the material I had left and try to put something together. After all, it was already paid for. <br />
<br />
Now to make things really easy, I decided not to cut anything but just tear it. Here is the result. I call it the picnic quilt because it would be great to just throw on the ground and sit on. I am also thinking it would be great for padding while looking under the car. <br />

We have purchased 5 great rams, each with their special strong points. The latest is Grand Luxe from Sheltering Pines. I drove to Stephen's farm on the Saturday after Thanksgiving to pick up Grand Luxe. I had visited Sheltering Pines in the past and have a couple of fine ewes from there. As soon as I spied that ram, I wanted to add him to our breeding program. I already have his brother, Barqs, a morrit glumoget and like him very much but there was something about Luxe which set him apart. I knew if I didn't get him if he became available, I would regret it. After breeding show animals for so many years, I have learned to regret "Could'a, Would'a, Should'a." Anyway, he is now in the program and has two ewes, Ladybug and Fiona for company. Thank you Stephen.<br />

Great Trail starts this weekend so I thought it would be a good idea to document a winter's work. At the guild meeting, took some time to use a fence as a display area and make a record of all of the hats I will have for sale at this fall's festivals. With the help of my trusty assistant, we photographed 96 hats. After all of the time spent in the hot sun attaching these to the fence, I have lots of pictures.<br />

Well, I am in the middle of the next Civil War quilt to commemorate the 150th anniversary. Seems like I have two quilt projects going at one time.<br />
<br />
The first is my portrait quilt. I will show more later but right now I am working on a band which I will use to outline a section of the quilt. While reading Southern Quilts: Surviving Relics of the Civil War I happened on the section about Linsey-woolsey. There was a derivation during the Civil War where the ladies of the south used cotton as warp instead of linen. Cotton was abundant in the south. While I have spun Leicester Longwool as the weft, I am using commercial cotton for the warp. I dyed the wool using bark from the root of the Osage Orange. Unfortunately it gave a medium yellow. I then turned to Country Classic cantaloupe for an over dye. I like the results.<br />

The second project is a challenge for my Civil War Quilt Group. We have decided to recreate one of the quilts popular just before the Civil War and during the Civil War in the North.<br />

After playing with the scissors for a while, I decided to start with a 24" square of tan muslin trying to keep in the spirit of the early 1860s in the south. I liked the flowers in the middle even though I have it on the side when I placed it on the chair. <br />

I later added a muslin border and some more flowers framed by a yellowish green. I have stopped for a moment and am continuing with the weaving between episodes of siding the back of the house. <br />

</a></div>While at the family reunion, one little girl asked me what I did and I responded that I sometimes make jewelry. <br />
"Can you make me some?" I used some of my favorite Chinese turquoise and some beads. <br />

It was excellent! I spend two days in a bead embellishment class offered by Lisa Binkley (<a href="http://www.lisabinkley.com/">http://www.lisabinkley.com</a>). She had a wonderful class. I would recommend it highly to anyone who wants to grow in that direction. <br />
<br />
I purchased a kit from Lisa and am showing a work in progress. Of course I changed the beads and pattern somewhat, but I am really happy with the results. I used some Swarovski crystals and a small Kingman Torquoise bead as well as some freshwater pearls and other changes and relied heavily on dark Delicas for the seed stitch. I am quite pleased with the results. I still have to add the backing and the edging. I think that some fringe may also be in the mix. I'll post the final project later. Three different backgrounds and lighting. <br />

I have been keeping an eye on her and was beginning to believe that she did not take. She seemed a bit bigger but had almost no udder development. Then this morning I went out to feed and found her missing. After a search of the barn, I found her just finishing cleaning up her little daughter who I named Mermos. She is the daughter of Whispering Pines Cosmos and Whispering Pines Mercury. She is very calm like her mother so I got lots of pictures. <br />

My friends from Denver just had a new granddaughter. I decided to try making a baby quilt using mostly Civil War reproduction fabric. I had to order the toile on line and it was just a bit off in color when I received it. All the pinks I had collected didn't work so I decided on a blended quilt. <br />
