I'm currently watching "Mercy Street" on Netflix which I somehow missed when it was originally aired on PBS. I currently live near Petersburg, Virginia, where some of this series was filmed. I'm enjoying the bed coverings, the men's costumes, and especially the Greene women's beautiful gowns. It ties in with your discussion of nurses and medicine perfectly. I've binge watched both seasons, and when not in my sewing room, will head out to the living room and start the series at the beginning again!<br />Much peace to you!<br /><br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08161616907762241275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-70655924560477801832019-07-14T10:58:05.258-05:002019-07-14T10:58:05.258-05:00Apparently Niagara on the Lake has an important hi...Apparently Niagara on the Lake has an important history.

I live only 1 1/2hrs south of Niagara-on-the-Lake. It's a lovely town and I may go visit it again this summer and check out the museums up there.<br />I live near the south shore of Lake Erie and there are homes here that were used to hide runaways. Now you have piqued my interest in my own town.

Such a beautiful town (and a very yummy shop with fudge!) but I never realised what had been going on there many moons beforehand.<br />Had to smile at the title - hard to imagine Canadians being disobedient having listened to my relatives "argue" - very calm and agreeing to differ LOL!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237828174807811725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-1581748461274018962019-07-14T01:09:39.154-05:002019-07-14T01:09:39.154-05:00LOVE reading the history you find as you research....LOVE reading the history you find as you research. IF you have found a quilt block that represented the Torrey political leanings of the American Revolution I would be interested in hearing more about it. There is a Whig Rose for those who wanted to withdraw from Britain. Way back my Great Great… grandparents decided to be Torrey and moved to Canada. A couple generations ago some of the family moved south and west to WA state. I would like to make at least ONE block representing the Torrey side for a wall quilt, if there is such a block. Thank you.
