The Lives And Times Of A Quilter's Cats

Random thoughts of three or four cats and I about the importance of wearing slippers if you happen to share your home with a quiltmaker who drops pins, and other similar and related nonsense, from fabric to gardening and of course, about the cats who inspire all this madness. En inglés y en español.

Nearly There

After having travelled 4358.3 miles, the little soldier quilt has nearly finished its mission. Having stayed in several places in Pennsylvania for a while, it's been picked up by someone who will finally move it to Virginia, and once there, it will be picked up by my friend Vern and travel safely back home via mail.

Después de viajar 4358.3 millas (unos 7014 km.), el quilt viajero casi ha terminado su misión. Ha pasado varios meses en Pennsylvania, y ahora ha sido recogido por una persona que lo llevará a Virginia donde mi amigo Vern lo recogerá y me lo mandará de regreso via correo normal.

The picture was taken in Pennsylvania, near the grave of Corporal George E. Lowery, 138th. Regiment, PA Volunteers, Company C. Mustered into service on August 20th, 1862. He was wounded at Wilderness, VA May 6th, 1864. Mustered out of service with his company on June 13th, 1865. Corporal Lowery rests at St. Thomas Church Cemetery, Whitemarch, Fort Washington, PA.
The entire muster roll can be seen at:
