New Patriotic Series~~Long May She Wave

Good Morning Everyone!

I wanted to show you my new series, " Long May She Wave" !  I have been working on this since the beginning of the year trying to get it ready for you to stitch and finish to display during July 4th.

This is a peek of all of the parts.  It will be released in 4 parts beginning with the "Long May She Wave" pillow and little hanging Flag pin keep.  Part One of the series was released on Friday and your local needlework should have it in a day or two.

Part Two will be released in May. It is the 1776 box you see in the carrier.  More to come on it later.

Part Three includes another pillow, "In God We Trust" also with a little bonus pattern.

And finally Part 4 will be the American The Beautiful Game board displayed at the right in the photo.

The carrier for this series was purchased at Hobby Lobby.  It was an unfinished piece and cost about $10.  I gave it a good sanding and then applied 2 coats of America Paint in Oyster Beige.  I then stencils the stars on the front and back with Americana Deep Blue Paint then Antiquing gel in Espresso to age it.  I applied more around the edges and handle to give it well used look.  It was a quick, easy and fun little project and came out looking great.

Here is a closer view of "Long May She Wave" Part One.

All parts of this series were stitched on 32 count Summer Khaki Linen, and I used all Gentle Arts Sampler Threads.

I hope you have a great week!
