Corporate Donors

Before I started The Americana Stars memorial, I knew I would need to get the materials donated because I just did not have the money. So I called upon various manufacturers that made the items I would need. The only non-negotiable criteria was that the items be made in the USA. I am so happy to say that everyone I called got on board with this project immediately and has been involved since I started 8 years ago. I am so lucky to have found such lovely, patriotic people!

If you are ever in need of the kind of supplies listed below, I hope you will thank them for their support by purchasing their products. They carry a full range of items, not just the ones that I am using. Just click on the links to go to their websites. Thank you!

DAZOR MFG - Supplied 3 wonderful lighted magnifiers so that I could properly see the stars as I was stitching! Dazor Mfg.
