Another Estonia kit and another reminder that the Europeans know nothing about American culture because of the name of the kit.

This is one of three tea towels I bought to embroider. They came from a quilt shop! 

 

Stock and Barrel, Knoxville

Entrance and Guardroom in Project Reise

Ther entrance is kind of spectacular for being hidden. There is a small trap area with the guard rooms to not let people in, of course. Most things are unfinished because the war ended before it could properly get built. This was one of six or seven sites that were started and would be matched up with each other. It was another overly ambitious Nazi plan.
