So,syagel...would you use the Lambswool aida or something else? I am thinking on using 16 count aida in the color Touch of Gray.
Anyone else? I just thought that the gray might be better coordinated with all the red and blue. Definitely not white aida. I, too, am a Civil War buff. Amazing conflict that could have truly ripped this country in half for a very long time. Too many dead and wounded.
My great uncle marched in an Ohio infantry unit (he was their bugler) from Ohio to Tennessee and fought my DH's family there (they were rebs). Then they marched/walked and fought across part of Georgia with Sherman's "march to the sea". He did not get to see the Atlantic at Savannah, though. He was wounded in the neck and taken to that infamous horrid POW camp at Andersonville. So many died of their wounds/starvatation/typhus/dehydration, etc. When the war ended in 1865 (he was a POW for nover 2 years), he walked home to Ohio, begging or hiding. His NINE brothers, including my grandpa,.all played musical instruments. I actually found the civil war re-enactor who plays my great uncle for their "battles". He had hoped that I had the bugle, but it was gone at Andersonville or on the way there..TMI, all!
