HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

On July 2, 1776 we gained our independence from Great Britain and July 4th we celebrated our freedom.  Happy Birthday America.

The pattern above is a design by Polly Minick and is a free to hook pattern in one of her booklets "American Summer".

I loved that design and thought about hooking it but it was so long I hooked this instead.

Yet another time I hooked something with a similar 4th celebratory theme on a pattern called Wee Folk by Vermont Folk Art Rugs. 

Wishing all of you a happy and safe holiday.  My plans are to stay inside and enjoy the A/C which I finally turned on full time yesterday.  Last week it was maybe for an hour during the hot part of the day then turned it off and I was fine.  But not yesterday as it was too hot and humid.

HAPPY July 4th!

INDEPENDENCE DAY

Also known as the 4th of July.  Below is a rug designed and hooked by Polly Minick.  I haven't hooked the whole thing, only her shorter version of the boy and dog in the center.  So enjoy Polly's holiday themed rug.

John Hancock was the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence.  A cleaned up copy of the antiquity is below.

If you would like to read a transcript of the document, you can read it by clicking HERE.  It will also provide the names of the signatories.

Enjoy a safe and fun holiday.  Just remember this heat has caused the grass and other vegetation to be a fire waiting to happen.  The smallest spark could cause a fire so please be careful with fireworks, BBQ grills and bonfires.
