Happy 4th of July!


I hung my flags out today and I'm hoping that it won't rain, but the weather radar shows thunder storms are coming this way in a few hours.
The sun is shining and it's neat how it shines through my Ohio flag.
 

Here is a Betsy Ross flag that has seen better days.
Many years ago I rescued it from my church's basement.
They were going to have the Boy Scouts properly dispose of it, but I didn't have the heart to give it up.
It has been hung on our porch on holidays, but she's too weak to hang so she still is carefully laid on my drying rank for display.
I guess I appreciate this flag most of all because there was a lady that made this flag possible.
I can imagine her sewing the first flag by firelight this flag and the sense of accomplishment she had when it was first hung.
I can also imagine her quilting and sewing clothes by hand.
 

I hope everyone has a 
Happy 4th of July!

Happy Quilting!

A Tiny Donation & Wheat Harvest is Soon!


 Here is a tiny quilt that I promised as a donation for a future premature baby out there.
I want to get it done before I see my sister so she can put it with the other quilts that will be donated.
The little red clips work great!


 The wheat is starting to turn and the fields look beautiful!
 

I just love the look of the bearded wheat!
Harvest should happen soon!
Dean will be getting the combine ready this week so when the moisture is just right in the wheat he will be ready.
 

We've had some rain this week, but thankfully no terrible storms.
Last year on June 29th, we had 80 mile per hour winds that cause a lot of storm damage
 in our area.



Happy Quilting!
