This is my new design I'm working on. I can see from the picture that I'm going to have to change the color on her mouth, but over all I'm really happy with it. The flag and the angel are appliqued with wool and then the wings, hair and halo are needle punched. Now I've got to decide what background color will bring out the angel and flag.
By the way do you know what the colors, stars and stripe stand for in our flag?
The white signifies purity and innocence that exist in the country.
Red signifies hardiness and valor that was used to get the US to where it is.
The Blue is the color of the chief, represents the vigilance, perseverance and justice that the US offers to its citizens.
While I sit and watch the Olympics this week and hear our national anthem, I have the picture of wartime when the anthem words were written and I wonder "What would they be thinking of our country right now during this crazy election time"? Would they be proud of our country? Picturing Angels flying in to protect America seems comforting to me!
