    Default Patriotic Wall Hanging for Hubby

    My husband is an ex-Marine and today is his birthday. I made him this patriotic wall hanging as a surprise.

    Excellent! Is that your own drawing or is it a panel of the boots, flag, and dogtags?

    Yes the center is my hand embroidery, stitch by stitch! It's traced from a pattern by Primrose Lane called Home of the Free. The artwork is the beautiful work of Beth Baker Dix. I bought it at the Paducah show, copyright 2014.

    Check out her other patterns, she has some real beauties.

    This is Terrific! and thanks for the website, I just had to order this as my DH served in Viet Nam in the Marines.

    You did an awesome job. Your husband should be proud of you......and appreciate your thoughtfulness.
