I have heard of Glenna's theory, too--though agree with her that it goes against what I think of as the mother/child bond. Also, speaking of the Whiskey Rebellion, you might enjoy the book The Whiskey Rebels by David Liss. The audiobook of it is FANTASTIC. <br /><br />The needlepoint is sooo nice--it'd look great on a leather sofa, fire crackling in the fireplace in the background.<br /><br />I'll pass on the giveaway, but thanks--I'm saving up my good karma for the lottery. I'll let you know how that works out. ;)Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611868316730726106.post-22979490687716562792011-12-13T07:13:06.640-08:002011-12-13T07:13:06.640-08:00Your December block is beautiful.

I shouldn't worry about it being Christiana rather than Christina, people's spelling was rather fluid in those days.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614377822656512086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611868316730726106.post-87330541729377642992011-12-13T07:12:15.673-08:002011-12-13T07:12:15.673-08:00On losing half your children: there's a theor...On losing half your children: there's a theory, although it goes against what I think is the nature of the mother-child bond, that parents in those days bonded differently with their children because they were so likely to die and didn't really bond until they were older. Wonder if it was true. I've been so out of touch because of everything going on, so I'm enjoying the heck out of going through all your posts, especially AnniversariesotH. I have so few people in my family, that I find myself confounded when it comes time to think of personalizing it. Maybe I won't--just tinker with the design as you have (extra snowflakes!) Yours is looking lovely. I know that In Stitches still has some stock of Paternayan, and they could also match the color to Appleton wool.Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331252407069170477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611868316730726106.post-47715449161427856632011-12-13T05:19:42.186-08:002011-12-13T05:19:42.186-08:00Your Anniversaries of the Heart is stunning Kather...Your Anniversaries of the Heart is stunning Katherine.

I also enjoyed the info on your family, it adds so much to the stitching.<br />Stitching friends are the best.
