It's that time of year folks......that time when I abandon everything for some patriotic stitching :) And what a fun little stitch this was...

We took a short road trip this past weekend, and our first stop was the Olympic Training Complex in Colorado Springs. It's one of 3 training facilities; the others are in Lake Placid, NY and California.
I took a bunch of photos, and it's always difficult to choose just a few. If you have a chance, stop by and take the free tour :) It makes you proud to be an American and appreciate the dedication it takes to be an Olympic Athlete.
Countdown...

Love that little project! And what a cool place to visit!
Great photos Staci especially the one taken through the 5 Olympic rings!
I've driven through Colorado Springs twice and I didn't know it was open for tours! It just didn't cross my mind. I would like to see the skating rink. Next time we will try to stop.
Love the sloop!
Lovely little patriotic stitch. The Olympic compound is cool! I have a picture of DH holding an Olympic Torch - made his day!!!
lovely finish!
Cute little finish!
Cute little patriotic stitching you've got there! I am the same way as you Staci, I feel compelled to ditch everything else and stitch something with flags or red white and blue! It's really my favorite type of stitching ;-)

that is a cute finish!
funny...my daughter and her dad went to Lake Placid this weekend!
Happy Stitching!

I love your patriotic stitch! There is something so appealing about patriotic designs in the hot summer. I'll have to get myself in gear next year to stitch some.

Cute stitch...now let us know how you plan to finish it? Will it be an ornament, pillow, door hanger, tin topper? I am sure you have something fun in mind. Colors are super and make me want to get them out of my stash. pj
