Happy 4th!

I love the July 4th weekend, don’t you?  It gives us extra time to sew, and more time to celebrate with family.  Yesterday I made potato salad, enough to last through the weekend.  Add a few burgers and we’re good to go.  That should keep hubby happy and give me more time at the machine!

I’m making little tags, from my Prairie Days tag fabric and I’ll be stitching them into the binding or seams of all my USA projects!  Handmade tags for my handmade gifts!  You can make them too as soon as this fabric arrives. By this time next year, I hope you’ll have made a 4th of July quilt or maybe these little pincushions from my Prairie Days fabric.  We can celebrate together!
