Stars & Stripes

In honor of Memorial Day, we've pulling out the stars and stripes--Barb Eikmeier's American Flag quilt, a bonus project that goes along with the Vintage Sampler BOM. 

Today we remember with gratitude all those who have died serving our country and protecting its freedoms, as well as those who have served or are serving today. Thank you, military men and women! 

Thank you, veterans!

This Veterans Day we're posting the red, white and blue as a thank you to everyone who has served in the Armed Forces. 

President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11, 1919 as Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I. The name of the day was eventually changed to "Veterans Day" to encompass all veterans, not just those who died in WWI, and is observed on November 11th each year.

Be sure to thank a veteran today for his/her service to our country!
