Home in America

American Quilt
American Quilt

Does this quilt say it all or what?  A house (home) surrounded by American flags (or a quilty representation of American flags).   What does it mean to be at home and an American to you?   I cannot even put into words what it means for me to be back here at home again, hopefully to stay a bit longer this time.

I finished this quilt the day before I left Iowa — again — on July 2nd.  Determined to return home to be with hubby for the three day weekend, I was also determined to leave this project completed and on my sisters’ dining table.  The photo is a bit wonky because Sister # 2 is holding the quilt.  Trust me, she was smiling — she likes patriotic things.   And so do I.  Must run in the family.

Hubby and I attended the 4th of July fireworks here in Ridgefield.  The photos are all on my bigger camera and haven’t been downloaded yet.  I will update this post with some “oooh” and “aahhhh” photos later.
