Patriotic Quilts
Veterans Day celebrations bring to mind parades, flags flying, patriotic songs, and recognition of those who have and are serving in the military to protect our country. I think of my Uncle Al, whose flag we fly from our deck for patriotic celebrations.
(This was the flag draped over his casket at his funeral many years after his service for his country during World War II, service of which he was very proud.)
Have you made patriotic quilts, pillows, and other fabric art items in recognition of patriotic holidays? There also are many quilt patterns with patriotic names in recognition of events of the past.
Do you have quilts you’ve made for patriotic events? Those done in patriotic colors? Do you have them on your blog that I can link to?
