Here it is the first of July and I am still working on a last minute pattern for the Fourth! Oh well, it wouldn't be me if I weren't scrambling to get something done. I have family coming in to visit and I wanted to make a patriotic design to decorate a wreath. If I get it done, it should be really cute. If not, it will be ready for next year!
