Home of the Free is finished!

7/19/2014

I am thrilled to announce that the "Home of the Free" pattern has been completed and is up on the website! I am so happy with how it turned out.

The pattern includes instructions for making it scrappy as shown, or with only 3 colors. It also includes a suggestion for making it into a Remembrance Quilt by embroidering the name, rank, service dates and conflict name onto the 13 stripes for each serviceman/woman..

I putter some with genealogy, so I plan to go back and find information on ancestors who fought in various wars in our nation's history, and embroider their names, rank , date of birth and death, and conflict they fought in. I think it will make it a very special quilt that I can pass down to my children and eventually grandchildren.

...now to get busy on completing another project!

I purchased a few designs for machine embroidery to try out before bringing them into my shop. I am thoroughly pleased with how they stitched-out! The needle movement through the design is very clean. I can't tell you how pleased I am!! Home of the Brave was the first to be made and my entire team fell in love... we're definitely going to have to kit this project! Thank you!

I picked this up at a quilt show recently and am delighted to have discovered your blog. My son is in the Army, my daughter-in-law and husband are both prior service members. I love your idea to add names/dates to the stripes. This will be my next "redwork" project once I complete my current teddy bears one. Thanks for a great design.
