Because of the Brave!

I wanted to stop by this morning to share an experience that Lori had yesterday at the shoppe. I am so sorry I missed meeting Ed but, I am sure our paths will cross soon. He was a wealth of inspiration! Being a reenactor at the Pioneer Village at Ceasers' Creek in nearby Waynesville, he brought the history that we love even closer than our wildest dreams!
We can certainly see God working our lives together through our precious shoppe! People making it so wonderful, you see! Ed says the period of time at the village dates 1700-1810 and the log structures date back to the era. What makes it even more clear that God is blessing, is we have a client that I longarm for from Massachusets at texrepro.com. She is perfecting her design of the 3 inch clam commonly used in that time period also. Dyeing her own wools and linens, she sends her boxes full of complete and wonderful surprises everytime.
My husband, as you are all learning is very "handy", has made a template for my "suziebell" so our clams can run true and not into each other. Anyways, her love and interest is the same period as Eds'. In the near future, she is desiring to have a "trunkshow" at Olde Glory. She will be sending a couple of the linsey/woolsey quilts we have accomplished so far..there is also a wonderful chintz and homespun that we have also sewn on.
If you care to take a peak, you can visit her at the link I gave above.
But, back to Ed and the village; I am sure Olde Glory will be very interested in setting up a booth this summer at Pioneer Village and enjoy sitting back and watch history reoccur. History!
Please show your interest in this period, if you have any, as the reenactors are "getting thin" Ed shares, and less of them survive in these busy days!!
Pause and ponder and be grateful for the roads of toil our ancestors walked on for us; so we could enjoy our land and even take for granted our freedoms today....
Land of the free because of the Brave!!!
Quilted Blessings!! Kari and Sis Lori
