The Address gives glory to those who fought and a commitment for the living to cherish what was won. Living in the South, the memories are still acute for the elderly who had parents and grandparents who were participants in some way. My husband's grandfather remembers the stories his father told of taking food to a regiment that he had relatives. Risking his life to feed the menfolk. Thanks for sharing the journey. I hope you are charting this for sale because I would love love love to stitch it!Celainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695275368279304664.post-11812932459844989662009-07-05T11:11:21.972-04:002009-07-05T11:11:21.972-04:00Good friends,

What an honor it has been to work with Lincoln's words, and commit them to fiber and linen. After a few days' break, I'll return with the second phase, the preparation for framing. I'll also ask your advice on the best way to iron the piece. (In my bleary-eyed state last week, I didn't trust myself with a hot iron!)<br /><br />After "272 Words" is framed, I'll decide whether or not to publish a chart.<br /><br />Good Sunday to you all, and enjoy the rest of your July 4th weekend. Now, it's back to Wimbledon . . I'm rooting for Roger to make history! (But I miss Nadal -- he's my favorite...) <br /><br />Many thanks and hugs to you all, see you in a few days . . . ciao! <br /><br />LizLa Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729842242118318215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695275368279304664.post-32140232917762684102009-07-04T22:09:41.539-04:002009-07-04T22:09:41.539-04:00I LOVE IT!!!
