One of my favorite holidays is the 4th of July. It's summer, it's colorful, and it celebrates our freedoms in the USA. And I'm a big fireworks fan, too (the ones at the park, not in my neighborhood). It's also a good time to stitch, so get out those projects, relax out on the deck or backyard with a big glass of iced tea and cross those X's to your heart's content. Lots of great patriotic patterns are available and your customers will enjoy stitching them all summer long. Happy Stitching! Beth
