I've always loved Memorial Day. I love the family. I love the food. I love the flags and the flowers and the grave decorating and the trumpets playing "Taps" and the day off of work and the whole kit and caboodle!
Whether you enjoy big family gatherings or peaceful moments of reflection, here are 10 Kimberbell projects to help you celebrate Memorial Day in style.
Made on your sewing machine, our classic Loves-Me-Knot basket is perfect for picnics, backyard barbecues, and so much more. Note: this is an oldie-but-goodie project with retro (but still very good) instructions!
