You’re a Grand Old Flag! 

Happy birthday, USA! As always, our thoughts are with all members of our military who can’t be home today. As a lobster-loving New Englander (at least until the Army moves us in another year), I’m celebrating the holiday by adding another red, white, and blue item to our home with this needlepoint flag. I may be the slowest stitcher in this great land, so here’s hoping it’s finished by July 4, 2012. Happy Fourth!

I like it! Good luck to you on finishing that... it'd be too repetitive for me to want to stick to it.

Hi Elena,

The canvas was purchased at Knit & Needlepoint in Boston. Its website is: Knit & Needlepoint. Enjoy! Christine
