Mind you, many of us were learning the stitches and Janea also had to teach us the basics of how the gown was draped and stop to explain lots of stuff as we went along.

Curious though, how many pounds or Spanish dollars would this have cost? Would the makers ever barter? Could I have traded some livestock or homemade whiskey or an acre of corn for one of these? greg6833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-44272050538181716122013-03-21T08:14:09.684-04:002013-03-21T08:14:09.684-04:00I would love to see them work in person.

Apparently it was meaningful enough to make it into the newspaper. Hallie Larkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843442726804488784noreply@blogger.com
