Good morning ladies. Flag-o-gram.
Most famous flag update.
After removing the 1.7 million stitches that held the flag to the linen backing, the conservators had an unobstructed view of the flag's surface for the first time in 85 years. They documented its current condition, including fiber deterioration and stains, using a camera attached to a microscope. Information obtained during this phase will help project curators and conservators decide on future steps in the conservation treatment.
One of the further reading links in my Flag Day thread had instructions for making your own US flag. I'm going to take those and tweak them slightly, to get a 15 star, 15 stripe 1812 flag.

Morning PE.
I couldn't even think about working on something like that. No patience at all.
We gonna get to see your Star Spangled Banner when it's done?
