    Default Memorial Day

    This is my very favorite design of our American flag. The design is from Blackbird Designs and was included in one of their books, Summer Weekend. I have made this flag for many families that have lost a son or daughter while serving our country. On this Memorial Day weekend may we all remember what this day is truly about.

    Beautifully done! And, yes, may we all honor those who've made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom!

    Happy Memorial Day to all

    Really love that design by Blackbird... It's wonderful that you gave them to the grieving families of fallen heroes.

    Memorial Day is a somber day of reflection and remembrance. Not a "happy" holiday, really. It's too bad that so many have turned it into a picnic holiday. It means so much more.
