Sky Meadows Civil War Weekend
This past weekend we again participated in the Civil War Weekend at Sky Meadows State Park. The weekend is part of the park’s Fall Farm Festival and is designed to illustrate life on a Virginia farms during the Civil War. Unlike the past two years, we had clear, albeit cold, weather. Since we were in the wash house with a fireplace going, we were fairly warm except when the wind blew gusts through the doorway. The slideshow has photos of the some the costumed volunteers, as well as our display.

Bluemont Concert
Every year we sell refreshments at one of the Bluemont Concerts which take place weekly during the summer on Saturday evenings. This year “our” concert was the last of the season and the group was the Flaming Shillelaghs. We listened to a delightful evening of Celtic music.
Mother’s Day at Sky Meadow
We were asked to do a quilting demo at Sky Meadows State Park in conjunction with their Mother’s Day activities. They were serving tea in Bleak House, and we sat on the back porch looking out over the valley. Aside from being a bit chilly when the wind picked up, we spent a very pleasant afternoon doing hand work and chatting with park visitors.

Sky Meadows Civil War Weekend
This past weekend we again participated in the Civil War Weekend at Sky Meadows State Park. The weekend is part of the park’s Fall Farm Festival and is designed to illustrate what life was like on Virginia farms during the Civil War. Once again we dealt with unsettled weather: last year snow on Saturday, this year the approach of Hurricane Sandy. Since we were set up in the old wash house with a fireplace, we were warm and cozy in spite of the weather. On Sunday afternoon Tim Seaman moved his hammer dulcimer into the wash house with us and played lovely concert for FCQ volunteers and park visitors.
Occasional showers on Sunday caused us to keep quilts inside, but on Saturday we were able to display them outside. We hope you enjoy the slide show.
