When Vonna and I decided on a 4th of July exchange, I started digging through my stash. I found a chart from Bent Creek, called Stars & Stripes Forever. I knew this was it! So, looking at the linen I had I didn't find a piece of 32 count big enough. I didn't want to go to the needleshop store to get anything, I have so much at home! Then I realized that the 28 count laguna was really big, and what if I stitched it over one?? 
I used Needle Necessities & Weekes Dye Works threads, they weren't the "recommended thread" on the chart, but who says I do anything recommended? This was a fun chart to stitch, I really enjoyed the challenge of stitching over one, and was so glad to hear Vonna loves it!
Project bags are useful, so that is what I made it into. I have one and love it!
I now have this chart, ready for a new home. Leave a comment telling me if you are interested and I'll draw a name next Monday! Thanks for stopping by :)

I was just thinking today that I needed a project bag for a new Mac-a-Doodle design I started. This would be perfect!
I just love your project bag for Miss Vonna and I ADORE patriotic charts. I would love to enter your contest. You still amaze me at what you get done! HUGS
Congrats on the finish it looks great! Love the project bag too!
So cute! Sign me up. I would love to stitch it :)
Lovely finish!
Great job Heather ... I thought the chart looked familiar and going back through my old posts ... it seems that it was part of our 4th of July F&S exchange 2 years ago. Glad you finally got a chance to stitch it :)
You don't have to add me to the giveway, but I just love what you did with this pattern. What a great idea!
