Thank you--such small words--but I truly am grateful to those who fought for the freedoms we enjoy today. To those in the military--all gave some, but some gave all. Both my parents served in WW2--my dad was an army cook, in charge of an entire mess hall kitchen, my mom was a navy nurse, my uncle was in the navy, my husband was in the army--a Vietnam era vet, and one of our sons was in the navy. Our time in the military really helped us appreciate what we have in this country. And now, how about a little patriotic quilt show? I love how my friend Pam fussy cut the design for this quilt. These two quilts are actually the same design, I think it's called "Calico Patch" by Jo Morton. This is another Jo Morton design--Rally 'Round the Flag. Turkey tracks. Joy made log cabin table runners for each month. This is her July tablerunner. These are a few patriotic quilts my friends and I have made. I love a good red, white and blue quilt, don't you! Till next time, keep stitchin! Mary

July 1st, 2017 is not only Canada Day, a federal holiday on which we celebrate the anniversary of the 1867 enactment of the Constitution - this year it's also an extra-special celebration, because Canada is now 150 years young. People throughout the country will be celebrating the holiday with parties, outings and beach days. No doubt many will be decorating their homes in red and white, the colours of the Canadian flag. As the central portion of the flag features a red maple leaf, the maple leaf is also prominent in Canada Day decor. To celebrate, I decorated our diy fireplace mantel for Canada Day with two projects - a Canadian flag garland and a framed maple leaf print. These are both simple yet festive projects to make with your Cricut Explore Air™ or other Cricut cutting machine. Materials Needed To Make Canada Day Maple Leaf Garland Cricut Explore Air Cricut 12x12 standardgrip adhesive cutting mat Cricut® cardstock, red Cricut white cardstock twine or string Steps To Make The Garland 1. In the Cricut Design Space, insert an image of a maple leaf. I had uploaded an image previously for my Cricut iron-on tank and tote bag projects. That maple leaf image now shows up as an option when I select Insert Images and search maple leaf. 2. Size the maple leaf to your desired size. The maple leaf I created for my Canada Day garland is 3.5 inches wide and 3.93 inches tall. Insert a circle. 3. Size the circle down to act as a hole to run the garland's twine through. Duplicate the circle. Drag circles to desired position. 4. Weld the circles together. 5. Select All and then Slice to cut out the circles. Delete the cut circles. 6. Duplicate the maple leaf to create as many as you need for your garland. 7. Cut with your Cricut using the desired colour of cardstock. For my Canada Day garland, I cut 10 red maple leaves and 9 red. 8. String all of the cut maple leaves onto twine (I used baker's twine) and hang. Done! Simple. Materials Needed To Make Canada Day Framed Maple Leaf Print Cricut Explore Air Cricut 12x12 standardgrip adhesive cutting mat Adhesive foil, red Faux leather, boxwood Picture frame Scissors Pencil Spray adhesive Steps To Make The Print 1. Use the picture frame's cardboard insert to trace out the background shape on the faux leather. Cut the faux leather out with your Cricut scissors. 2. Spray the cardboard picture frame insert with spray adhesive and adhere the faux leather to it. 3. Insert a maple leaf into the Cricut Design Space. It's there if you made the garland. 4. Size the maple leaf to your desired size. Cut out of red foil adhesive using your Cricut. Remove maple leaf from adhesive backing and adhere to faux leather background. 5. Insert your new easy Canada Day art into the frame. Done! (I ended up switching to a white picture frame because I found it worked better with my mantel's colour scheme.) I added a few Canada-related items to my mantel - a little jug from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, a seashell my parents gave me and a wee bagpiper a friend of my mom's in Nova Scotia gave me when I was a child. I also added some of my favourite novels written by Canadians, red and white jelly beans and a small bunch of red gerbera daisies. What different kinds of DIY projects can I make with the Cricut? If you just recently acquired a Cricut machine, you might be wondering just what kinds of projects you can make. As my Canada Day maple leaf garland made with cardstock demonstrates, you can make garlands. Many many garlands. I am garland-obsessed (as my daughter likes to point out). I made this fall pennant garland previously with my Cricut Explore Air, and also this gift tag ribbon garland using old Christmas cards. You can always visit Cricut Design Space™ for project ideas. There are Father's Day cards, cake toppers, designs to personalize your mugs and plates and text images to help you organize your craft supplies. More Canada Day Projects Another fun type of project to make with your Cricut is iron-on clothing, textiles or pillows. I made a couple of Canada-related projects for Victoria Day that would also be perfect for Canada Day. Check out this post to find out how I made a diy Canada eh? tote bag and a Made in Canada tank top using my Cricut Explore and red foil Cricut iron-on material. This was just a small sampling of the many DIY projects you can make with the Cricut. Let your imagination run wild! Will you be celebrating Canada Day? (Or your own country's birthday?)

I do very little holiday decorating in my home, even at Christmas. The tree and a few other keepsake pieces are all I get out. I put just a few things out at Thanksgiving, but really don't do anything for the rest of the holidays. It isn't that I don't want to, I just don't have the time/energy/motivation, to move my regular decor away (and clean) to decorate for so many holidays. But, when I came across this flag image
