<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings good Gentles! I will be organizing
some projects that honor Baroness Tatyana's memory; excellent suggestions have
been pouring in. So far we have these initial plans:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First, a quilt for Sarah, her daughter who is 5 yrs
old, focusing on good memories and qualities of her mother and including quilt
squares from as many people as possible who want to contribute. We are
finalizing whether they would be 6" or 4" squares and will cut and distribute
them over the next month. We would like to collect them by early March and
make them into a quilt as quickly as possible after that. All who
contribute a square are welcome to write something for a quilt-book,
explaining more about the square and their memories of Tatyana. We would
have a photo of the square on the page. I will be sending out a further
email with more information and we will mail squares to whomever requests
them. The squares should be washable but can be embroidered, painted,
written with nonwashable ink, appliquéd, or just covered with a fabric that has
a special meaning. THL Michelina has a few bags of scraps of fabric that
Tatyana left here with her and we can make those available to people as
well. We are not going to ask her parents for any supplies from North
Carolina and they have requested no friends travel down currently. We will
let everyone know if they choose a charity or a fund for any
donations.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Second, Fruthikona Hrefna in heppna has volunteered
to design an item of Kingdom Regalia made in Tatyana's honor since she loved and
created beautiful pageantry. Further details about that will be
forthcoming, but all will be welcome to contribute their efforts and much
construction will be at two sewing circles that I will host here in the
Debatable Lands. People who do not want to travel a long distance here for
the sewing circles can contact Hrefna to see how then can contribute to a
similar or adjunct project if they wish. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Third, please come to both or either of the two
sewing circles, not necessarily to help make her honorary Regalia, but just to
talk about Tatyana and listen to others' good experiences of her. My
current tentative dates are February 13th and March 13th (both Saturdays).
I would like two dates since many people might have a conflict on one of
them. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fourth, we will have a gathering in her memory at
Pennsic this summer, hosted by her Barony Marche of Debatable
Lands.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am acting as coordinator for these efforts but
want as many people as possible to participate so please contact me and Byron
off-list at <A href="mailto:caram@pitt.edu">caram@pitt.edu</A> if you would like
to contribute.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yours in Service,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ariella of Thornbury, Baroness of our Barony Marche
of Debatable Lands</FONT></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
