Good Morning Friends,
I so apologize for being late! Yesterday was a Oral Surgery Day, need I explain more?
First off Thank~You soooo much Madame Samm and Jane for the superb joint effort in putting together this Beautiful Adventure!!
My thoughts were I could do straight lines, a Flag would work. We do joint ventures around here too sometimes so my Hubby came up with this for me.
Early in the Spring I fell in love with Prairie Paisley II, so now I had a good reason to order a Charm Pack for my piece. Cutting was easy, sewing was easy and went quite quickly. I do love to sew!
I am leaving this as is for my finished piece, it is going into a Frame that we Ordered. Which I can't wait to put this all together and will eventually post the finished Product. Remember from the Ghastlie Blog Hop that I have a daughter and her family that live in China? Well Lauren and her hubby just recently had a Wedding Anniversary. Every year for their Anniversary they get a Handmade gift from us. Not necessarily made by us, but the gift always reflects their life in the States. So for this year's Gift I think this just might be a good one, don't you?
Now for the Give Away, I am giving away a Strand of Red~White~Blue Candylights Lightstrand for you to use in all the future Patriotic Holidays. Just leave me a comment, and I will use the Random Generator on the evening of the 16th Blog Hop. The winner will be posted the following morning!
Please stop by the rest of my Quilting Friends today to see their lovely Red~White~Blue Pieces,
Have a wonderful day Friends and Thanks for stopping by!!
Huggs, Nancy

Love the prairie paisleys in your block, they really do look beautiful in a patriotic piece.

what a nice flag block! and fun lights :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Hop Day!!! The Wantobe campaign did just what Madame Samm was hoping. Get more people involved in quilting. Look at what you made! I agree, beautiful fabrics and you did an amazing job! Pat yourself on the back!! How proud you will be when you see this piece hanging. What a great idea to gift something homemade. Thank you for playing and no jumping around today. Take care of that mouth!
ReplyDeleteYour flag will look so nice in a frame. I think the stars look good.
ReplyDeleteDon't know where I've been, but I have never seen that fabric grouping. You did a nice job.
ReplyDeleteHowdy, neighbor!! Love you block and your idea for framing it! I'm sure your daughter and her family will love it :o) Next time I'm in CDL, maybe we can do lunch. Thanks for participating in the blog hop and doing the giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI think your block will look great in a frame. I love that you embroidered the 50 tiny stars. Thanks for offering the generous giveaway.
ReplyDeleteYour block is gorgeous!!! i love the embroidered stars!! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blog you have!! I am your newest follower - looking forward to coming back and reading more. I, too, love Paisley Prairie - by the look of your blog, we have many things in common. I really like your square as well - I've bookmarked it for my QOV blocks that I make. Have fun on the hop! Madamme Samm is amazing ;)
ReplyDeleteOh....sorry you had a sad mouth. Your block is just great. Will we see it all framed?
ReplyDeleteLove that block!!! I always love twinkling lights :)

I think your flag is a great idea for their anniversary. And the little embroidered stars was a clever idea too. I think I would have just left the blue alone but like the stars better.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy: I'm not far from you in Odessa, WA. Please stop by my blog and visit and follow when you can. I love your block and have enjoyed visiting your blog. I could use those lights because I love rw&b. Thanks for letting us visit. Kathie

ReplyDeleteDear Nancy.... I love the softness that your little flag offers and it would be prefect for an English-cottage type style set up. I also become a new follower as enjoyed going back to read some of the previous postings. I think those little light are quite cute and that is a word I don't normally use. Thank You for the chance to win. I would use these to frame the picture and flag of my almost FIL who passed away last year & was a veteran.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Tricia
