It's a Grand NEW Flag!

My lovely new American flag quilt! I was so tickled to win this last week in a drawing from my dear blogging friend Debi! And it arrived in perfect timing for the 4th of July! I was as excited as a kid in a candy store.

As soon as DH saw the step ladder coming out, he knew what was next.....me all over the place finding the perfect setting to show it off. I knew that I wanted to use it as a hanging outside and not as say, a little table runner. And of course that meant pruning the tree of excess limbs, and knocking down dead hinoki cypress needles from the winter bushes. And of course, I got my waist long ponytail caught in a limb as I'm up on the ladder and almost became part of the holiday decor ;)

Whether we are employed, or unemployed, can afford brand new fabric, or use scraps, whether we have to be careful on trips in our cars for gas mileage, or wear old clothes instead of new...we are all so blessed to be able to live in America, and to have all of our freedoms. We still have so very much to be grateful for....and so much more than most people and most countries do!

Thank you so much, Debi...it's perfect and I absolutely love it!!!

It's a grand new flag and its flying high and proud today!
