Before the death of the last member, they passed their Congressional charter to the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War http://suvcw.org/suv.htm, which continues today with headquarters in Harrisburg PA. The ladies organizations consist of four allied orders: www.asuvcw.org, www.duvcw.org, www.suvcw.org/WRC and www.suvcw.org/LGARAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-38717294106571642012011-01-14T13:33:02.087-06:002011-01-14T13:33:02.087-06:00Another gorgeous line of fabrics I have to own!

I have 40 Civil War letters that my gg-grandfather wrote to his wife during the war. 2 of my other gg-grandfathers were also Union veterans. I would love to make a Civil War quilt in commemoration of the 150th anniversary in their honor AND somehow incorporate their names into the quilt. Thank you so much for the inspiration! As a history buff, this is just down my alley!Carol in CAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-91250617283096012122011-01-06T22:20:12.971-06:002011-01-06T22:20:12.971-06:00I love the prints and the colors, gorgeous.
