A few more to Boston With Love

I acquired a few more flags for To Boston with Love.  I probably won't get anymore tomorrow but I will wait till Tuesday morning to mail them as that is what I originally said I would do.

Four of these are from my group at church. There were only a few of us there this month but those of us who came made a flag. The two little hearts on the lower left are from one of the Basement Divas and she dropped it off today. I think these are all so cute that we should  definitely plan to use this kind of banner in another way.

To Boston with Love

So far I have seven little flags to send to Boston with Love. I will be sending them on Tuesday May 14 so I am hoping to have collected a  few more by then. I am meeting with our group at church on Saturday and hope to get a few there. Maybe some of the people in some of the other groups I belong to will drop them off or let me know and I can arrange to get them. I know the Priority mail envelopes or flat rate boxes will hold more than 7.

To Boston with Love

I came across a  link to "To Boston With Love" today. Quilters and sewists are making 6 x 8 inch flags to show that we care. I made mine in about an hour and I hope friends in my quilting groups will make one too. they will be flown in Boston Memorial Day weekend.


I got all enthusiastic about it and wanted to make something right away. I used one of the motifs from my Spoonflower fabric and I stitched over the long connected lines with red thread.
This has no batting and it is stitched to the backing and turned; there is a 16 inch tie across the top.
Check out the link above for details and a tutorial and links to flags that others have made and posted on Flicker.
