The States Of Modern Block Of The Week 8: Delaware
Delaware, one of the original 13 colonies and our first state! It is 1,954 square miles and is our second smallest state after Rhode Island. Delaware is a low lying state with its highest point, Ebright Azimuth, just 450 feet above sea level!
Our block this week is based upon the Delaware flag. I have simplified the coat of arms to three stripes: Colonial Blue representing the uniform of General George Washington, White representing the sails of sea commerce and green representing the importance of agriculture to Delaware.
Here are some Delaware facts:
Capital: Dover
Admission to statehood: December 7, 1787 (The day Delaware was the first to ratify the U.S. Constitution)
Flag: The Delaware state flag has a background of colonial blue surrounding a diamond of buff color in which the coat of arms of the state is placed.
Bird: Blue Hen Chicken
Flower: Peach Blossom
Largest cities: Wilmington, Dover, Newark.

Crazy Patch Purse By Machine 99 Cents!
As you can see, this is Crazy Patch for the machine age. All stitching is by machine. It is wondrous to use all those decorative stitches and different threads. Sometimes I put two threads through the needle (one on a bobbin) just to see what would happen. The results are fantastic! The Crazy Patch is done flat then the purse is made from the created piece in a very simple manner. Dig out your fancy fabrics… or just your favorite cottons! And have a great time making this purse!
