    Default Quilters needed to sew a new flag for Ft. McHenry, MD

    I saw this NBC news article and thought I would post it. Ft. McHenry, MD, where the original flag was sewn, is having an open sewing bee over the summer to create a new one by hand. Details are in the NBC link.

    I'm confused..... I thought the original flag was made in Pennsylvania ???? In 1776....
