Flag Day

 

June 14th has been celebrated as Flag Day for about 125 years, recalling the date in 1777 when the rebellious colonies adopted the American ensign.

Following tradition, altered flags express opinion. 

The flag is a great graphic, easily recognizable and composed of pattern that translates while keeping its identity.

One reason the image works so well in the needlework of resistance
that we see today in our troubled times.

American Revolutionary Samuel Adams wrote in the Boston Gazette:


The patriot's purpose is to "keep the attention of his fellow citizens awake to their grievances, and not suffer them to be at rest, till the causes of their just complaints are removed."

  1. Thanks for the flag parade, Barbara. For my part, I'm going to make Modern Quilt Studio's We the People banner.

  2. 🌿✨ I wanted to take a moment to share my incredible journey with all of you. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and it felt like my world was turned upside down. I explored various treatment options, but I was still searching for something that could truly help me heal.

    ‎That’s when I came across Dr. Disu and his herbal medicine. Skeptical at first, I decided to give it a try, and I’m so grateful that I did! With his guidance and the power of his herbal remedies, I began to feel a shift in my body. The support I received was not just physical but emotional as well.

    ‎Today, I am thrilled to share that I am cancer-free! 🌈 I truly believe that Dr. Disu’s herbal medicine played a significant role in my healing journey. If you or someone you know is facing a similar battle like, Prostate cancer, ALS, Herpes, Tinnitus, diabetes, etc

    ‎I encourage you to reach out to him via email: drdisuherbalcure@gmail.com
