Patriotic Finishes & a Patriotic Winner

"Hooray for the Red, White & Blue"

Winding Vine Designs original

Thank you so much to the 47 people that entered my patriotic giveaway!

It was such fun to read all your favorite patriotic songs. I was singing them all in my head each day :)

The most popular song mentioned was God Bless America followed by the 1812 Overture, Grand Old Flag and the Star Spangled Banner.

Our winner this month, as determined by random.org is Robin from The Cranky Crow

Congrats Robin!

I'll get you package out to you shortly!

"Independence Day"

I shared this cross stitch piece on the 4th of July and have since finished it. You can find Falling Star Primitives designs here. 

I have two more patriotic pieces in process now and then I am thinking there are a few sunflowers in my future...

"Beautiful Savior! Lord of all nations!

Son of God and Son of man!

Glory and honor, praise adoration,

now and forevermore be thine."

~Munster Gesangbuch, 1677

translated Joseph August Seiss, 1873

O beautiful for spacious skies...

"Independence Day"

design by Falling Star Primitives

"O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!"

~Katharine Lee Bates 

I took a brief break from the "Strawberry Collection" to work on this.

I'll show a status picture on the strawberries soon...

Yesterday evening was spent celebrating with friends and watching our town's fireworks display. Today is a quiet day of "catch-up" around the house.

We'll have a barbeque dinner tonight. 

Stop by later this week and I'll post the July giveaway...

Wishing you and yours a happy and safe 4th of July!

Blessings, Patti
