Sunday Stash #70

This week Sunday Stash is hosted by Gemma from Pretty Bobbins - so I will see you in tropical New Caledonia for the linky party.

The Civil War Edition

Back in the Sew Mama Sew Give Away week I won this book from Bear Hollow Quilts. Sandy and her husband are Civil War re-enactors and clothing re-creators. Ever since the Ken Burns The Civil War documentaries from the early 90s I have had an interest in the American Civil War.  I even got to tour Gettysburg in January 2000. Such a sobering place even for an Aussie.

This booklet documents the story of the team who put together an authentic era quilt for the Lincoln Museum.

There are instructions for making your own quilt.

Can you believe that I still have not yet seen 3 time Oscar winner Daniel Day Lewis in Lincoln? My husband and I planned a date night with Italian food to see it but a wild storm destroyed our plans.

Just for reference Daniel Day Lewis in on the right!

DDL is one of my favourite actors and he features pretty heavily in my Cameleon board on Pinterest - along with Meryl, Freddie and Jared Leto.

Happy Independence Day to you USA folks!

See you over at Pretty Bobbins.
