Happy Independence Day, Quilters!
May your day be filled with family and friends, burgers and brats, and your favorite cocktail!
And may God crown our good with brotherhood!
Here’s how The Kennedy Family kicks off the day: Ray Charles, America!
From my family to YOURS,
Wishing YOU all the BEST of America!

Your quilts, patriotic and otherwise are always creative and beautiful. You are both artist and artisan, plus you are a generous teacher and we appreciate everything you share.
On this Independence Day of 2019, I remember and am grateful for all the members of my family who served and still do – my dad and uncles (Army & Navy – WWII), my husband (Marine – Korea and Vietnam), my brother (Navy – Vietnam) my eldest grandson (Army – Afghanistan) and my middle grandson (Army Reserve).
God bless all of them, both living and those who have gone home to Him.
And God bless this wonderful USA.

Hello Lori,
Happy Fourth of July!
God bless America!
What a great country we live in!
I am new to your blog and am enjoying it so much!
Your patriotic quilts are just amazing; it’d be difficult to choose a favorite.
You are such an inspiration!
I look forward to seeing your posts.
The images are very helpful.
I try to practice FMQ a little each day; it’s a challenge but I hope to improve.
I have found the comments left by others to be interesting also!
I appreciate that you are willing to share your talents with each of us!
Thank you!

Thank you for sharing these absolutely beautiful examples of your quilting that reflect your deep patriotism–such a tribute to our country and to those who are serving in our military, those who have served, and all those who support them. Just love that Ray Charles song–that says it all!

Great quilts! I checked the Red,White and Blue quilt from 2016, and found none of links mentioned here are working; can they be updated or re-linked? Or maybe they’re somewhere else in your new format?
The Red, White and Blue quilt (directions HERE) is finished–binding too!
The blocks are machine quilted in a variation of The Basic Block–we’ll learn the variation this week….
I added machine quilted, Shining Stars in the corner–(machine quilting for Shining Stars motif tutorial HERE)
