Let Freedom Ring!

Welcome dear needlefolk friends...

hope you're enjoying a day of remembrance

in honor of Independence Day!

I have very fond memories of attending a 

Parochial School while growing up in 

Milwaukee, Wisconsin...to start the

school day our class would all stand

up beside their desk and recite 

"The Pledge of allegiance"...

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag 

of the United States of America, 

and to the Republic for which it stands,

one Nation under God, indivisible,

with liberty and justice for all."

I've always love the "Betsy Ross" Flag...such 

lovely Threads Through Time!

My country, 'tis of thee,

Sweet land of libery...of thee I sing!

Land where my fathers died, 

land of the pilgrims' pride, from

every mountainside...Let Freedom Ring!

This week I'm excited to finally

spend some quality time starting my

upcoming "Bee Samplar"...

I have all sorts of fragmented thoughts floating

around in my head...I need to sort through

them and start the fun part of designing!

More updates to follow in the upcoming weeks!

God bless America,

land that I love; stand beside her,

and guide her, through the night,

with Thy light, from above.

From the mountains, to the prairies,

to the oceans white with foam,

God bless America, My home,

sweet home!
