Patriotic Crochet















In honor of Memorial Day, I'd like to share some patriotic crochet in red, white and blue. Above are two of my crocheted rooster potholders.



Below you'll find a patriotic bee hanger/decoration and some CD hotpads/coasters:























Patriotic dishcloths or potholders and a matching blue pot scrubber (below):

















Lastly, a red and blue crocheted towel topper with matching patriotic cotton dish towels (L) and my recent patriotic additon, the tiny washbird scrubbie for dishes, face or body:

















Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone and feel free to read my  "We Remember You" Memorial Day post.











By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army


In Flanders Fields the poppies blow


Between the crosses row on row,


That mark our place; and in the sky


The larks, still bravely singing, fly


Scarce heard amid the guns below.






We are the Dead. Short days ago


We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,


Loved and were loved, and now we lie


In Flanders fields.






Take up our quarrel with the foe:


To you from failing hands we throw


The torch; be yours to hold it high.


If ye break faith with us who die


We shall not sleep, though poppies grow


In Flanders fields.




GOD BLESS AMERICA!
