Sue and I wish you a safe and Happy 4th of July!

 

To make this slightly more quilting related, I did try and FMQ some fireworks using a variegated thread on our Fireburst quilt.  These fireworks bring to mind past happy July celebrations.

I also added stars interspersed throughout my quilting.

The inspiration for this quilting was found in a quilt shop in Bar Harbor, Maine called Fabrication.  I was so happy that the shop owner let me take a photo of her piece and quilting.  My stars are definitely not as perfect as hers!
