AmericaLTWL


America Land That We Love, Designed by Jean Farish - started on 02-22-2011.
I changed the 2 hearts on each side of the top banner to patriotic hearts instead of the solid dusty rose colored hearts the chart called for. I am also stitching the state blocks in the order that each one became a state (stitching that date below the name of each state).
I outlined the first block with the wrong floss color but I have decided to delay frogging the border on that block for now – frogging is a real motivation deterrent to me and I am enjoying this too much to go to that place.

I believe this chart is now out of print but it has been found on the wayback machine here: CLICK HERE

I downloaded the charts in the early 2000s when they were offered as free charts on her old website so I don’t know if it’s true that all of the charts can be downloaded on the wayback machine.

It looks great, Rita!

I can remember looking forward to every Wednesday when she'd upload another "installment".

I finally started mine. :-)

Very nice! I really like your idea of adding the date that each State joined the Union - it's a lovely touch! And your patriotic hearts fit the tone of the work really well; they look lovely :)
