Patriotic Finishes

Back in February, Debbie and I decided to work on patriotic pieces on the one day per week that we get together to stitch.

This week I finished the last piece I had on this one piece of linen. I do have other patriotic WIPS. Some of them will be finished in time to add to my Independence Day decorations; some will hopefully be finished by next year.

Here's the piece I finished a couple of days ago. There are 6 projects on here. The flag (third on the left) was my Finish #3 for 2026 so, with the other 5 projects, I've finished 8 pieces now.




I'll try to give a bit of information on each piece.

I'm kinda confused because I thought I stitched that flag (third one down on the left). I know I stitched that and finished it on February 13 so I'm not sure how it ended up in the middle of that piece of linen. But . . it's there so we'll just go with it.

The linen is 36 count Vintage Country Mocha.

There are a few blank spots but I was afraid by the time I left room for finishing, I might not have enough room so I'll save what I can and use if when/if I need a really small piece.

I don't know if any of these will be framed but I hope to get them all fully finished by the first of June.
