Hello folks. My plan to offer six boxes a month started off poorly. February's box was going to be George (for president's day), our first president elected by the new Constitution, and also instrumental in the document itself. Then I thought red would be more appropriate for Valentine's Day. So George moved to January with no related reason for that month. I have wasted days on end working on this three layer design, and I still need more work to now shorten the width. Before I go any further, can I ask for your opinion once again?
There is a subtle suggestion of our flag as a background on ivory parchment paper, the beginning of the Constitution, and lonely George. Cornballishness? Certainly not related to stitchery but I've wanted something patriotic for quite a while.
Working on Martha with the 300 thread. It looks fine, no reason other than nitpickiness to change the color now.
We're warming up this weekend and Mark is waiting for a phone call to golf. We got my car back from the hospital and I finally found a tube of O'Keeffe's for my hands. Everyone was out. Good stuff - thanks for the suggestions.
Hope everyone is doing well.

I love the box. It would work for the 4th of July as well. It would work with any patriotic collection. I like the flag in the background.

I agree with Barb. Love the box with George.

I think the box is beautiful and George should stay right where he is! I am glad you decided that the DMC color looked fine. I really like that color although it is a little on a the dark side.
Great looking box, Marly--I love how the flag is waving in the background. Just the right touch :)
Am driving up 79 on the way to mom's today--will wave at your exit!! Thankfully, no snow is in the forecast for my trip...
Love the box !!
As with the others, I love the patriotic box! I keep a little patriotic around the house all year long, so for me, no cornballishness issues here!
I think it looks great!
O'Keeffe's saves my hands.
My two cents....I love the flag in the background.
WOW!!! I love it!! I love the way it is right now and would DEFINITELY want to buy it from you!!!
Marly: I love this look so very vintage, so beautiful with the Flag in the background.
So glad to hear your car is back home.
Blessings
