Meet Sam, he's the newest guard to be posted at the door to my sewing room; he's arrived just in time for Memorial Day, Flag Day and the 4th of July! As my friend commented when she saw him under construction: "he's a yankee doodle dandy", that he surely is. Sam is a
Country Threads pattern (
thanks, Mary and Connie for another wonderful pattern!). Sam joins the ranks of an army of sentries who dutifully occupy this post throughout the year: Santa, Brrrrr, Harvey and Frank; welcome, Sam!
Sam went together quickly, the pieces are all large and the flag “jacket” is constructed from a pre-made flag, he measures 22" X 59". I found the absolute MOST PERFECT piece in my stash for the backing, and I had enough!
Just enough~ this was meant to be!
I got him quilted up quickly yesterday and from there I couldn't stop...
His button details were added and the binding went on lickity-split,
not quite a quilt in a day but almost.
Life is Good!
