Happy Birthday, USA!

To all my fellow Americans, Happy Fourth of July! (To those of you in other areas of the world, you can have a happy fourth as well, but it just doesn't mean the same thing! :-) )

To celebrate, here are some sites with patriotic freebies:

• Richard Seekins designs: Flag and American Shield
• Whispered by the Wind: "Stars and Stripes" and "Freedom" on the freebies page
• Rainbow Gallery: The needlepoint and cross stitch freebies pages have several patriotic designs!
• Waxing Moon Designs: For something different, stitch the Patriotic Snowman on the Waxing Moon freebies page.
• From Enchanted Fabrics and Helga Mandl: July 4th freebie (PDF file)
• Dutch Treat Designs: A Red, White, and Blue Doily from the company that makes great tabletopper designs!

If you've found some other freebies and would like to share where they can be found, please leave a comment!

Enjoy the designs, and have fun grilling, watching fireworks and parades, or just stitching - however you want to celebrate the day!
