And, we can't forget about the fabrics, right? These are from Benartex Fabrics and they have a British theme. See? We have kissed and made up with you Brits! After all, you gave us the Beatles.

1. The contest is over at midnight tonight, September 12, 2014 (EST). I have ONE MORE contest tomorrow, so come back and bring your friends.
2. Fabrics can only be mailed in the United States.
3. If I randomly select someone from outside the United States, you can have ANY of my patterns from my Craftsy site. I will email them to you (obviously, the ones that are for sale).
4. If I don't have your email, I can't notify you! Anonymous bloggers can't win!
Have you ever participated in any historic re-enactment (other than grade school)? Or do you enjoy seeing special events that feature historic re-enactment.
And come back tomorrow for more quilt inspiration, free pattern and of course, free fabric!
I have never been in any kind of historic re-enactment, although I've seen many of them at local museums. I am always impressed at the research and detail that goes into them!
ReplyDeleteOh to be able to have helped work on restoring this flag. It would have been an honor. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteOur valley re-creates the historic battle (Revolutionary War) that occured in October - right down thru the valley and ending at our towns local 'Old Fort' where the British were finally defeated. We always go to watch some of the Fort activities. We donated one of our farm's Dutch barns to the museum and it was dedicated during one of these re-enactments - we hosted a history of the barn that year.
ReplyDeleteDuring the Bicentennial I made a costume and wore it at a craft show held at the Rockville Civic Center in MD. It was later used for Halloween! I also used a man's navy blue suit from a thrift shop as the foundation for a colonial officer..George Washington? ..for our history buff son's Halloween. Now he does other reenactment a. Interesting and fun!
ReplyDeleteI've never participated in a history re-enactment but I've been to some places and watched that sort of thing. Williamsburg, Va and Shaker Village in KY are two that come to mind.
ReplyDeleteYes, a couple of our friends were involved in Civil War re-enactment for several years. It was interesting to watch. Thanks
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Would love to see that flag in real life; it's huge! sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteEnjoying your new website!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been in one since grade school, but I would definitely enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteI've made costumes if that counts, but really I'm just a spectator. I have so enjoyed everyday.
ReplyDeleteNo, I have not been in or seen a live re-enactment. I'm sure it would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI live in southern MO. I have never participated in a reenactment but a few years ago I spent the day in Springfield, MO watching Wilson's Creek Civil War Battle reenactment. It was awesome.
