Memorial Day
 
1 Attachment(s)
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.

Oh, I really like that. Have a great Memorial Day.

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.

Yep, it made me want to cry. but then, our flag always does.

I was going to add, Happy holiday or Happy Memorial day is not appropriate to say.

You flag is great.

JuneBillie 05-26-2018 04:08 PM

It's beautiful, and very special of you to make this for others. It is a special time to remember others we love that gave for us.

Love that flag Quilt. Thanks to all our fallen veterans for our freedoms! Stay safe this Memorial Weekend.

Blueridgebeverly 05-27-2018 04:50 PM

Beautiful! It’s fantastic that you make this for families who have lost loved ones serving our country. My father is a veteran of WWII, my father in law was a veteran of the Korean War, and my brother in law was a veteran of the Vietnam War. Happy Memorial Day, everyone.

Thank you for posting this. It is so nice of you to make these to give to families of those who lost there lives protecting us and our freedom. It is a beautiful design.

quilterpurpledog 05-28-2018 04:13 AM

Your flag quilt is wonderful and I am so glad you shared. We in America are very blessed in the life we have because so many have given their lives to secure our freedom. Today, an every day, we need to be thankful. I know I am.

How right you are, Sewbizgirl!

Beautiful work. Beautiful flag.

Gorgeous piece.

sash 05-28-2018 06:19 AM

That is so special and very nice of you to do that. Thank you to all that have served and those for the ultimate sacrifice. You are remembered and loved, and shame, shame, shame to those that live in this great country of ours that dishonor this great flag of ours. SHAME.

SusieQOH 05-28-2018 06:31 AM

That's the prettiest flag I've seen with fabric. And giving it out to those people is just wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
I know what Sewbizgirl means about picnics but it also makes sense to me to enjoy the day with family or friends. That's what these brave people fought for. I just wish they didn't have to give up their lives.

Sneed 05-28-2018 07:21 AM

I only wish that I could make more.

CarrieRoseCottage 05-28-2018 01:08 PM

Absolutely beautiful! And so are you...

leatheflea 05-29-2018 07:28 AM

Blackbird has some of the best patriotic designs. Well done!
