A Few Flags

Happy Flag Day to all

in the United States! My friend

Elizabeth has an interesting post over

on her blog Altered Book Lover about

Flag Day, June 14th.

A flag-inspired quilt...with a wreath of flowers

instead of stars...

A little red, white and blue for remembrance

of patriotic holidays. July 4th will be here

before we know it. In the season of

picnics and fireworks, let's remember

 the sacrifices of our veterans, and the 

high price that has been paid for our freedom.

I am grateful for the symbolism of the flag

and all that it represents.

Red, White and Blue

Happy Independence Day to the

United States of America!

A patriotic pin keep that I created by 

combining motifs from at least four sources.

Counted cross-stitch on linen...

I like how it turned out.

I wish I had dated this quilted flag wall-hanging

on the back. I think it's at least 20 years old.

I like the flower applique instead of stars...

I stitched the red, white and blue felt star

with beads and buttons this June, when

I got an itch to stitch!

Everyone uses an old pop crate to 

decorate with, right?  It makes a fun place

to put the arrangement. I love old books,

stitching, glass and canning jars. 

Many in the U.S. will be enjoying a long

weekend and celebrating with picnics,

barbecues, and fireworks.  May we remember

the holiday with thankfulness for our 

freedom, and appreciation to our

 veterans who have given so much.
