These designs come from my deep connection to our military community. My husband proudly served 20 years active duty in the United States Marine Corps, and being a Marine wife has shaped so much of who I am. I designed these to reflect the reverence and the quiet strength found in honoring those who serve. I hope stitching them brings you the same sense of pride, gratitude, and connection that I felt while creating them. The flag shown in the cover photo was flown over Camp Baharia, southeast of Fallujah, Iraq in 2006 during my husband’s deployment.
