HERB - Fwd: [OT] Osis Quilt Memorial

[Gaylin Walli]

Because several people have asked me privately
about this information, I went to the Lady of the
Bearded Mammoth household and asked if she had
any information. Lady Rhiannon Ottersdale (hi Rhi!)
forwarded me this memorial quilt information
from her list of contacts. I thought it might be helpful
to those of you who  aren't on Rialto or the Middlebridge.

Unto all the good gentles of the Known World do we,
Lady Tsaryl Larmer, and Lady Katherine Lowell, give
greetings

During the past few days we have all been trying to
come to terms with the loss of Thorbjorn Osis, King
of Ealdormere.  Osis was many things to many people.
He was a King, a knight, a friend, an opponent on the
field of battle, and many other things to many other
people.  There have been many conversations about the
memories we have of this man.  These memories
should be preserved.  It is for this reason that we are
suggesting a memorial quilt.  By collecting quilt patches
from gentles who knew or knew of Our King, we hope
to create a picture of the man who touched many, and to
create a permanent memorial for his Beloved Queen to
keep, so she may know how he affected the lives of many,
and how we share sorrow of his passing.

It is our hope to solicit quilt patches of 12inx12in with
a 8inx8in (20cmx20cm) centre piece, in any appropriate
medium, applique, embroidery, cross stitch, etc, sharing
a piece of your memory of Our King.  A poem, a symbol, a
thought, a design, a picture, any thing that to you symbolizes
something of who Osis was, and what he stood for.  We
would collect the poatches from various events, or through
mail, until the end of July, with the hope of being able to
display and present the quilt to Our Queen at Pennsic.

Gentles from anywhere in the known world are asked to
contribute to this project.  Hopefully through our combined
efforts we can create a beautiful memorial that will help
keep Osis in our thoughts.

If you wish for more information, including a mailing address, or
events that we or a representative will be at please feel free
to email Katherine (Katje) Lowell at cary at niagara.com

We thank you for your time.

In Service
Lady Tsaryl Larmer
Lady Katherine Lowell

Could those on other lists please forward this letter to them?
Thank you.
