Hello, sweet friends and a very lovely day to you. It is Memorial Day here in the U.S. - a special day to remember all of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy the freedoms here in our great nation.

Can I interest you in a new mini sampler? Just grab your favorite red, white and blue flosses if you are so inclined. I will be starting this simple Patriotic Mini Sampler today.
I think I will use DMC 815, 930 and Blanc for the banner. I am still pondering on the letters , but I will let you know what I choose when I make the decision.
