INTRODUCING:
Greetings from Northwest Ohio, along the shores of the Great Lake
Erie!
I started this adventure of personalized embroidery especially for the Civil War
Enthusiast. Being a "re-enactor" myself, I don't claim to know everything about
the Civil War and it's rich history, but I do have a very reliable "in-house"
specialist of my own. My husband, DeWayne has been a reenacter for over 33
years now. Starting out as Confederate Infantry with the 5th Texas and
progressed into the artillery
 division,
where he started his own unit, the 21st Ohio Volunteer Light Artillery. You can
check out that site on my Links page. If I don't know something, I just ask him!
So, with that said, I have been having a ball with all the items
that I have been making for other reenactment groups, historians, GAR's and
societies. If there is something that you don't see that I don't have listed,
does not mean that I can't make it. I have made items from civil war infantry
to civil war marines, GAR Posts to Arms Society, Flag Preservationist to
Battlefield Marker Preservationist. And the list goes on and on and I add new
items all the time.
I would like to show you what I have to offer and also show you what I have
already done. If there isn't anything that you see that fits your needs, just
contact me and I will work with you to get a design that you want.
Now, a little bit about the owner, that's me! I'm Tracie, and I currently work
as a Systems Analyst at a Regional Medical Center in a nearby city. But, after
that, my other time is devoted to my family and my embroidery business. I am
truly blessed to be able to work with all kinds of Civil War buffs, whether they
are reenactors, history buffs and just plain people who are proud of their
heritage and like to display it proudly. I try and pay strict attention to the
details of the digitizing that I do so that when you receive your embroidered
item, it truly is designed especially for you! So if you are thinking of
getting a personalized embroidered item for yourself or someone you know, please
don't hesitate. My turn-around time is excellent!
I do want to mention my husband, who is my inspiration in this endeavor.
Although he doesn't have anything to do with my business, I do a lot of "picking
his brain" as I said before, he is my total "wealth of information"! DeWayne,
is a state certified welder by trade, a part-time blacksmith, and is the Captain
(formally 1st Sgt.) of our Civil War Unit called the 21st Ohio Volunteer Light
Artillery. He is one of a few Certified Inspectors for the National Civil War
Artillery Association. The 21st OVLA consists of members from the Northwest Ohio
area. They do a lot of living histories, civil war encampments and re-enactments
around the Ohio/Michigan/Indiana area. They also are one of the featured guest
units at Gettysburg National Park Service. They were lucky to have access to an
original 1862 3" Ordinance Rifle from the Great Village of Carey, Ohio to use at
our disposal to show the general public and history buffs out there what it is
really like to have an Artillery cannon
 and
camp from the Civil War. Their busiest time is from May to October, where their
last re-enactment is near home at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center
located in Fremont, Ohio.
Another thing that I enjoy is playing some good OLD TYME music! I play the
Hammered Dulcimer and my husband plays the Autoharp and 5 string banjo. We are
called "Strings of Glory". We do all of the "old tyme" songs from the Civil War
and before. We put on programs for bus tours in the area and do a lot of
presentation throughout Ohio. Our songs are from the ages of 1600 through 1800's
and are all the old "smooth-listening" ones.
As you can see, I am busy, needless to say I don't let any "grass grow under my
feet". I hope that you have enjoyed the reading and thanks for stopping by my
site and learning about my company. Like I said before, if there is something
you need, please don't hesitate to
contact me.
Thanks

Below please find a sample of some of the
digitizing that I have done. Look around and if you have any questions,
please fill out the below section and I will contact you.
These are just samples of what I can do.
The designs are all approx. 3" x 3" and look great. I do the
Confederate Gray background on all rank insignia.
If you want something for your re-enactment group, think about these great
embroidered emblems, personalized with your unit name below. These great designs
are all machine embroidered with your re-enactment unit below.
They are put on:
   
Long Sleeve Denim Shirt,
Sport Shirt,
Sweatshirts,
T-Shirt's &
Caps
I can also do canvas handbags for
the ladies
I will
embroider, FOR FREE, one word on the right breast.
(i.e. your first name, nickname, etc.)
These also make great gifts for that Re-enactor in your life. They would really
find that the fit and the quality of the product is excellent.
Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery. Items are done in the order in which they
are purchased. Please email me with your shirt size with the design you want and
your unit name. I will combine shipping on multiple orders.
