I woke up to pouring rain this morning, which must explain why people were shooting off fireworks (which sounded more like bombs) until 1 am… they all knew the rain was coming. I didn't.
My oldest daughter, Breanna (who hasn't updated her blog in a century), tried her hand at designing a freebie for anyone who would like to download it. 🙂 I'm very proud of her efforts, and would love to stitch this myself into a pin pillow or little ornament. And if you're not one who cares for stitching letters, you could always just stitch the flag, and it would be darling!
Here's the link (please don't try to download from the image, bc you won't get what you were expecting):

Thank you so much, Breanna! (Btw, she insisted I say that her company name is Blueberry Lane Samplers, which I find quite cute – and strikingly similar to my own company name, btw. ;) But then she realized she already owns the domain name HodgepodgeHead… so I'm just saying it's designed by Breanna Stewart!)
Have a safe and happy 4th!
