Genealogy takes time: searching the internet, traveling to archives & libraries, writing letters, interviewing, etc. However, many of us have other interests as well. When the weather here in New York State is good, I like to spend time in my garden. I also spend many hours in my sewing room making quilts. Sometimes I try to integrate my interests. I enjoy finding ways to link genealogy & quilting.

What a smart way to combine your interests. It's interesting to see that list of names of soldiers on both sides of the conflict. I need to do that. I know SOME who fought, but I have not really bothered to check on some of the collateral lines. And congratulations on that ribbon!
ReplyDeleteWendy, there are probably more soldiers in my family but those are the ones I have uncovered thus far. As you know, we are always learning something new.
DeleteVery nice quilt, well done, great label and a great way to blend hobbies.
ReplyDeleteMary, thanks! Without a label some day my quilts will be like an unidentified photo. ha!
DeleteNice quilt. I remember the quilting sessions when I was a youngster many years ago.
ReplyDeleteCharlie, thanks. I have been sewing, in one form or another, most of my life. My mother and her mother taught me. It is a family thing, of course! ha.
DeleteYour quilt is beautiful, Colleen. Congratulations on the ribbon! You had a lot of Civil War soldiers in your family!
ReplyDeleteNancy, thanks! Making the quilt was lots of fun. I may add the list of soldiers to the back of the quilt.
DeleteThe quilt is beautiful! What a great keepsake :)
ReplyDeleteSally, thanks! I enjoy trying to combine my interests.
