Really pleased with its simplicity but effectiveness.

This is one of my favorite quilts. I knew I had to make this quilt to show my support of all the men and women who sacrifice so much for our country.

I made this wallhanging for my firefighter son soon after 9-11. When I saw this free pattern on the internet, I just knew I had to make it for him. It has been proudly displayed in his home every since and is a reminder to everyone who sees it that we will never forget the events of 9-11.

This is a tabletopper I made years ago. I like to use it from Memorial Day to the 4th of July. This was sewed right sides together and turned, so there is no binding. I have no idea if I saw a pattern, or a quilt that I just copied, or if I designed it myself–too long ago!
