Red, White and Blue on both sides of the Pond

Across  the Pond Sew Along
Susie picked the theme for this month's Across the Pond Sew Along - RED, WHITE and BLUE.  And I love it.  Can you tell? 
 
Think summer picnic - think Flag holidays - think Stars and Stripes.

Patchsmith Star Mug Rug - three variations in one pattern

Ticker Tape Mug Rug - as many looks as your scrap bag will allow!

Waving the Union Jack in Britain

And celebrating with Uncle Sam

Red, white and blue also shouts 'sailing' and 'sea' - as shown here in Summer Crafter's new 'High Seas' pattern.

All these patterns cost pennies - not very many pennies it has to be said but pennies nonetheless.  So, if you are looking for red, white and blue FREE patterns look no further than this lovely selection (just click on the details under the photo to go through to the pattern):
