Red, White and Blue Stitching

My latest red, white and blue crazy quilt project is completed and ready for assembly:

Little Betsy Ross looks quite content stitching on her American flag!  I have one more patriotic piece that I'm going to do and then I can sew them all up into hanging ornaments.

In other news, I added some new earrings by Kathi to the shops:

Pretty pink enamel flowers dangle from very comfortable to wear, sterling silver leverbacks!  Kathi thought these would make nice Mothers Day gifts!

In other news, and this is big!  Allison Aller's beautiful lost crazy quilt has been found!  It was MIA for over a year and now it's safe and sound, back in Allie's home.  Hop on over to her blog to see it!

Patriotic Stitching

Betsy Ross was commissioned by Congress in 1776 to make the first American Flag.  She's the theme for my current Patriotic crazy quit project:

This is ready for some glittery sequins!

I have some pieces that need finishing so I think I'll run my sewing machine a little bit today.  I also have some pretty new earrings by Kathi to add to the shops.

Don't forget that I have some Crazy Quilt Fabric Packs available!  These are perfect for the newbie crazy quilter!  Approx. 7 pounds of fabric for only $22.50.  The shipping is included!

Stitching Uncle Sam

I've always thought that red, white and blue were a very cheerful and happy color combination.  I thought I'd start on my Patriotic Door Hanging Pillows a little bit early.  Uncle Sam is my first:

I'm going to sit here for a bit and stitch before I head over to Mom's for some coffee.
