USA Veterans Day

Today we celebrate Veterans Day here in the USA. I was up visiting my mom and I noticed that our little hometown has a new World War II Veterans Memorial that has just gone up. It is prominently displayed in the corner of the city park. I felt a surge of patriotism when I saw it. My Grandfather and all of his brothers served in the military during WWII and they loved to tell stories about their service. Granddaddy once told me that when he was in the Army he felt the most useful he ever felt in his life.

Honor the veterans in your family and community today. If you haven't already, be sure to stitch a design to display on this day and other patriotic holidays. Here are some projects to get you started:

• USA Patriotic Patterns (based on the Ohio Star Quilt Block
• Vintage Heart Pattern
• Striped Heart Pattern
