Pilgrims and Pioneers: Prairie bonnet

Welcome To Pilgrims and Pioneers!

After many years of researching my family geneaology I have been lucky enough to discover actual information about my relatives that lived in the Pilgrim Era and the Pioneer Era- while many people also have realtives from those eras- many do not know their names or where they lived- actually seeing the proof in print makes you much more aware of who they really were.
After discovering these relatives it of course made me curious to learn more about the eras that they lived in and what their lives were like as, the history I learned in grade school had long since been forgotten.
I decided to start this blog for others who are also interested in these eras.
Some of the information here will be actual facts about my realtives and some will be information about the eras in general that I have found on the web.
I hope you will enjoy traveling back in time with me!

I actually finished this bonnet over a week ago but had a problem with my camera so could not put the picture up.

This is such a great authentic style colonial prairie bonnet done in a reproduction calico.

Prairie Bonnet Update

Last Saturday I started work on another prairie bonnet with the hopes I would have finished by the end of the week. Well after that post my husband unexpectedly is going to have a minor surgery on Monday- we have to travel 60 miles one way to have this done and will invlove both Monday and Tuesday. Although I took a little time to work on this bonnet tonight it certainly will not be done by the end of the week.
Stay tuned though as it will be done soon!
