One of my most faithful customers just picked up some bowl cozies for their family reunion auction.
She requested a set of four Colorado cozies. I made a set last year and foolishly did not write down the cutting dimensions for them. Duh!
Using the old-fashioned graph paper and pencil, I was quickly set to go. The Colorado flag lends itself well for such a project...
It could work for the US Flag as well... Hmmm. I'll have to think about that.
Speaking of the US Flag... June 14th is Flag Day. Here are some details about the holiday... (from Wikipedia)
It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The Flag Resolution stated "That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."
Flag Day was first proposed in 1861 to rally support for the Union side of the American Civil War. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation that designated June 14 as Flag Day. On August 3, 1949, National Flag Day was officially established by an Act of Congress. On June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday, beginning in the town of Rennerdale. New York Consolidated Laws designate the second Sunday in June as Flag Day, a state holiday.
Flag Day is not an official federal holiday. Federal law leaves it to the discretion of the president to officially proclaim the observance. Title 36 of the United States Code, Subtitle I, Part A, Chapter 1, Section 110 is the official statute on Flag Day. The United States Army also celebrates its birthday on this date.
If you have a few minutes, take a listen... you may have seen this before - it is a several years old, but it worth listening to... and it is Robin Williams! He is always good for a laugh or two.
We will have our flag on display in celebration of the day...
Do you have a flag? Do you fly it daily?
Or do you, like us, put it out on holidays?
Our reason for holidays only is because the wind here can be obnoxious and grew tired of replacing it.
Leave a comment... I'd love to hear from you.
Keep Piecing,

The cozies are cute! Yes, we have a flag that flies daily, there are quite a few in our neighborhood. Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteYay for the cozy request! How cute that they are "Colorado" cozies. Yes we fly our flag daily and almost always have a second flag. Sometimes it is the OU Sooner flag and sometimes it is a Trump-themed flag. We are looking forward to seeing the big parade tomorrow and are very pleased that President Trump is recognizing our great military.
ReplyDeleteOur flag was a wedding gift! It was flown over the U.S. Capitol and came with a certificate of authenticity. I hang it up on holidays.
ReplyDeleteLove the bowl cozies! Thanks for linking to TGIFF!
