In May, we celebrate Memorial Day in the USA. At that time we honor those who serve the country we love.

Independence Day has always been a favorite holiday of mine. I love fireworks and patriotic music. It is usually so hot in July that we need no excuse to sit back on a hot summer night, snack on cool foods and enjoy live music and dramatic firework displays. Or, sit in the living room, eat popcorn and watch specials on TV. (I usually vote for the latter.)

Every August, I get the urge to buy lots of paper, notebooks, pencils, and ink pens. I may have been out of school for a long time, but I still remember preparing to start a new school year and treasuring those last few days of freedom before returning to days measured by bells and schedules. Take a vacation of your own this month - even if only for a few minutes. Stitch this sampler to remind you how important a break can be.

September holds many memories. For many, the events of September 11, 2001 are still forefront in memory. My memories are stirred this month because we have a family reunion each year.

Take time to remember family members both near and far as you stitch this little sampler for September.

This sampler answers the perennial question - Trick or Treat? Well, personally I choose Treat every time. Stitch this little sampler to add to your Halloween decor.

As you celebrate this month, remember all the good things in your life. Stitch up this little design as a small hostess gift or for a small framed piece to add to your holiday decorations.

The December holidays are about beliefs that are central to faith. Whatever you believe, this is a magical time of year when we all tend to care just a little more about each other. Stitch this sampler as an ornament or for a small refrigerator magnet to remind you to look past commercialism to the true meaning of the holiday season.
