July Angel . . .

Happy Independence Day!!!

This is the Angel I did in 2000 for the 4th of July!

Isn't she the cutest little one?

I had to get my magnifying glass out to see

what date I stitched her.

I always put my name and date, in

thread, the same color as the background

fabric and it makes it very Hard to see,

much less read!!!

I had red hair at the time so I actually

coached down some other

threads that were not for stitching,

I had acquired from a friend for her hair!!!

She was such a HOOT to stitch. I had so

much fun doing her. The little buttons

for the basket, bee, bird and

firecrackers

came with the pattern

and it just makes it come together perfectly.

I used the threads that were called

for and put them down on my favorite

fabric in a 28 count.

They don't make

the fabric anymore so I bought 2 yards

from Hobby Lobby

before it was all gone.

It's a good thing cause I can't, for the life

of me, remember the name of the fabric.

If I had known I would live this long I would

have bought another 3 yards.

I have done several angels in the past, a Christmas

One, Noah's Ark, an Autumn One and a Halloween One.

The Halloween One is ~ Willa's Broomstick Co.

Made with a Zing!!!

I will have to take a picture, cause I had

forgotten how darlin' she is!!!

That will be my next post tomorrow

night. I am on vacation this week

so I have nothing but time.

I have the patterns for about a gazillion more so

maybe someday I will work on them again.

So many stitching's and so little time.

It's hard when you don't have the time and you work.

Time flies so fast. One day it is Monday and

the next day it is Friday.

I also make cards and I am working on my son's

get well cards and a special person

who missed a lot of holidays.

Guess I had better close for now. I will leave you with this

thought ~

How sad would it be if our Fore

Fathers had not fought so hard for the privileges

we have as Americans to be FREE???

How sad would it be if the next generations

had not cared that we were free

and kept

that privilege of Freedom for us to enjoy???

How sad if all those sacrifices would have been

in vain???

Let's not forget this year and

every year from now on just how

very Precious

that Privilege is to us all!!!

And how many made it possible for us

to enjoy!!!

God Bless America

It Is the Best Place To Be on This Earth!!!

Thanks for dropping by and thanks for the comments

if you could leave one.

God Bless your stitching fingers . . .

Take care ~
