a finish for the 4th!

happy independence day!  so proud to be an American today and every day.  may we all be keenly aware every day of the sacrifice of so many to preserve America. in these chaotic political times, let us never forget freedom isn't free and we who claim citizenship have ownership and enjoy benefits of that freedom.  America is not a life preserver, a meal ticket or a free ride.  America requires our citizenship, upholding the Constitution and supporting those who defend it, which includes securing our borders.  a country divided against itself cannot stand, so we must all join together as "one nation, under God" to preserve the ideals of the founders for future generations.  in America, ALL lives matter, for a country to preserve and continue, it takes the effort of ALL citizens.....no politics here, just plain old garden variety patriotism....and here's my 4th finish, the red windmills, again machine quilted and done.

plenty of red but alas, no white or blue in this one.  the extreme hot is with us for another day or so; until then it's hibernating in air conditioning.  working on my vacation itinerary that will include 2 fun fabric places--marden's and busy thimble--and plenty of Maine lobster!  keep cool and quilt on!
