Happy Independence Day, fellow Americans! I've mentioned before that I don't really stitch patriotic designs. Being a military family, we are surrounded by flags and other symbols of patriotism every day of our lives, so for me, I don't feel the urge to also stitch them. And as such, my stash of patriotic designs is almost nonexistent.
However.
I am getting excited about our 250th birthday next year! And our 250th year starts today! So, since I have plenty of time on my hands and nothing else I need to stitch (that was a joke) I've decided to throw in a few patriotic designs here and there over the next year. Since I really don't have any, I've been on the hunt and I've found some I really like. I'm interested to see what designers come up with to celebrate our 250th.
I was just barely old enough to remember the Bicentennial and can remember it being a very exciting time. We were stationed on Guam at the time. I would never have imagined that 50 years later I would be a military wife myself. I'm looking forward to stitching a new-to-me theme and sharing them with you. Stay tuned!
Happy Stitching and Happy Independence Day!
