Flags on a Stick ~ Day 2






Thank you Mdm. Samm and Thearica for your inspiration and cheerleading know how! And a big thank you to our hop sponsors...Flags on a Stick and Flag Outlet.




I'm really excited to be waving my flag today with the above creative ladies. So here goes...

I don't have any garden flag stands, and with 3 feet of snow still on the ground they would look a little silly anyway. When I first signed up for this hop, I immediately went to the Flags on a Stick website to make up my wish list. Such courteous and immediate service when I discovered I was having difficulty setting it up. Gotta love live chat!

It was hard to decide what I wanted, they have such awesome products. Who knew you could have such pretty welcome mats (among other things). I know I want one of those. Again, weather not permitting, I chose instead to purchase two window flag hangers. Love them!

I had such fun with this pattern from Quiet Play. Guess you may have noticed by my new header that I've gone squirrely. I've stopped chasing them from my bird squirrel feeders, and have been blessed with such entertainment. The other day I had about 10 of them at one time. What a sight!

So here is squirrely...



As you can see through the photo, the backing and binding are the same (self bound).


These flag holders are really great and inexpensive. I'm sure you noticed that my "tabs" are just pinned on in these pictures...I really just wanted to take photos before the sun set...they are all sewn on now!


I'm loving foundation paper piecing since the hugs and kisses hop!


Looking for a way to get an outdoor shot, I discovered that I could use these hangers in the car as well. The suction cups are moveable. Great idea for those with young children or grandchildren in the back seat...good size to block the sun and something fun to look at.


Sew loving my squirrels!

Oh, and if you have made it this far I'm giving away a cute Rocky & Bullwinkle fat quarter in keeping with my love of squirrels...Ha ha...I remember watching this as a kid...go Dudley Do Right!

Signups open for newest hop...

Mdm. Samm and Thearica have a new hop opening up...


Don't know about you, but I for one have always wanted one of these little outdoor flags. Either one to hang off the front porch (house flag), or one of those darling little garden flags. I've never managed to bring myself to purchase one, and always wondered (yet never researched) the possibility of making my own. Hmmm.... This just might be the best time to start giving it some honest thought now.


 
Our dear Mdm. Samm has found an amazing online company as a sponsor...Flags on a Stick. Full disclosure is to be found on the Sew We Quilt blog, but this company has so many beautiful flags and other items...who knew that you could make your own decorated door mats??!! I don't think I have said "I want" as often since I was a child in the candy store!

Decorative poles can also be purchased through The Flag Outlet. There are some beautiful artistic items to be seen and drooled over. Never mind the flowers, just sprinkle these throughout your yard LOL

This promises to be another fun adventure...for blog participants and viewers. I am truly on the edge of my chair in anticipation of this one!
