The day to show my flag has finally come. What fun I had cutting, piecing and stitching a flag to hang this summer. These are remnants from a quilt I made using these delightful fruit ladies. A bit of hand embroidery is flying in the sky. Don't those girls make you laugh or even smile? Think beach! The time is just around the corner.
Our closest beach is about 60 miles away. So for this photo shoot my husband found a nice green area and added a few shells for atmosphere. I put it on a stick and he attached it to the screening covered with plants and flowers.
Here's a close up of my favorite ladies--other than my blog friends and other quilters. Are you in this picture? Not me. I'm a two potato lady.

Yes, those are roses blooming in the background. They are a bit early but we are enjoying them.
Great thanks to Madame Samm and Thearica for this fun blog hop and also all the other participants and their creative Flag on a Stick.

ReplyDeleteMarcy ... this really brightens my day and puts a big smile on my face. I have some of that fruit ladies fabric in my stash that I received in a beach fabris swap a few summers back and have been wondering what to do with it. I think a summer banner ... and a summer placemat or two ... are in my future. Thanks, once again, for the inspiration ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I love that fabric!
ReplyDeleteThis is funny! Women sure do come in many shapes and sizes... I think I'm closest to the curly haired one fourth from the left, but no one ever knows because I always wear a bulky sweatshirt! Thank you for sharing, your flag came out really nicely.

Your flag is too cute! :-)
ReplyDeleteMarcy, I had to giggle at the beach babes. What a fun, fun, fun flag. I love the pix, too! How delightful. I scrolled down and saw your beautiful ME quilts and the stay put tea towel. What fun to see those, too. I adore the hexagonal table toppers. What a wonderful idea for the hospital gift shop. I don't know how large they are; they are wonderful. I remember seeing your Hugs and Kisses runner. I'm glad that Pat asked for a tutorial on the prairie points. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. Thank you participating in the hops and bringing up laughter.
