What Is Memorial Day? And Few Flag Crochet Patterns.

I Love America, 

I Love The American Flag 

and 

I Love The Pledge of Allegiance.

I remember saying it

 every morning in School.

So here are a few Flag Crochet Patterns.

To help us Celebrate 

 and Remember that

"Freedom is not Free".

What is Memorial Day?

"Memorial Day is a US federal holiday wherein 

the men and women

 who died while serving in the

 United States Armed Forces are remembered"

Thank you for my Freedom!

I did "tweek" them all,

 a little, to add more detail and fun.

1. Heart Placemat -

I added a Gold Trim 

and a Gold Star 

2. Flag Coaster or patch - 

I added some gold trim and 

a couple of white star buttons.

3. Can Cozie - I striped mine a 

little bit different, 

and added some 

fun Patriotic buttons.

4. Striped V Stitch Bag  -

I used 2 strands of Sport weight yarn for

 the red, white and blue stripes,

 and then did the trim and handle 

with worsted weight gold, 

added the gold flower

 and a fun button.

Gold Star - 

This is the star pattern I used.

Where were you ten years Ago????

My husband and I were in Washington State, 

he on business, me for fun.  

We were sitting at the hotel having  breakfast when 

 CNN first made the announcement of a plane hitting

 one of the towers.  The room grew silent as the

 announcement of the the next plane, then the

 pentagon and another going down in Pennsylvania.

 It was a so silent, not a fork hitting plate, 

or a sip from a coffee cup. 

We were stranded and ended up 

keeping our rental car and driving home to Oklahoma.

I may or may not agree with all that
 has happened since, but I  very 
proud to be an American.

Please, don't forget that the freedom

 you and I have

was not Free,

it cost many people their lives!

I Love This picture.

I Just want to say Thank-you!
