Well, we really went shopping for some wool and a checkered burlap piece and a tool so that my SS could make a rug we seen in one of my old magazines however we did not find any of that. So we ended up with these....

Ok, now I have to find the picture of the quilt I made with the stars and stripe fabric you have. Ok...off to look for it!

O cool, you have it too! I loved this and got it for $2 a yard, needless to say, I GOT THE ENTIRE BOLT of BOTH! Ok I have to stop this, I have gotten like almost $1000 worth of stash in the last week.

I love red, white & blue quilts! I have a friend who inherited a Civil War flag with a bullet hole in it--it was carried by a family member, and she has all the documentation and everything. When she bought a house we decided to plan her decorating around this flag, which hangs over the fireplace. That meant lots of red, white, & blue! And lots of quilts for me to make for her!

OOOOBeautiful quilt!

I too love R-W&B I have some embroidery designs that are vintage americana too that I have been wantig to stitch for a long time and I can nto wait to intergrate some of the fabrics with some of the designs. They have just been sitting there forver! LOL Now I have something to use them with. I already had some fabrics but not enough different ones to do what I am wanting to do.

I used Yellow Brick Road pattern for that one. Actually made a few of them for friends. I should have taken a pic of the back of it. One has Marine Corp seal on it, one has Army and the other Navy. I embroidered names on all of them, but don't know why this one didn't show a name. Might be because it was just the top at the time and didn't get it done as of that time. <shrug>

Well its still knock my coks of beautiful! And I love the idea you had for the backings to be in the military fabrics. We seen some of those the other day, if they are the same ones we seen, they are very pretty! And naturally I love embroidery! I am addicted to it, I guess thats why 3 of my machies do it! LOL

Thanks. I usually embroider the persons name on the front and then "sign" the back of it.
