Sunrays Creations Sweet Land of Liberty Stars and Stripes Patriotic American Flag Counted Cross Stitch Pattern, 1 Piece

<p><strong>⚠ PLEASE READ — THIS IS A PATTERN ONLY.</strong> You are purchasing a printed counted cross stitch chart and instructions only. <strong>Floss (thread) and fabric are NOT included.</strong> You will need to supply your own DMC floss and Aida fabric to stitch this design. This is not a kit.</p> <p><strong>Sweet Land of Liberty</strong> is a counted cross stitch <strong>pattern</strong> from Sunrays Creations, rendered in the style of an antique American postcard. Two flags catch the wind across a warm gold background, framed by the opening words of <em>My Country, 'Tis of Thee</em> — "sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing." A patriotic piece with the patina of an heirloom, designed to be stitched once and treasured for decades.</p> <p>The 250th anniversary of American independence arrives in 2026 — a milestone that comes once in a lifetime. <strong>Sweet Land of Liberty</strong> is the kind of finished piece worth marking that occasion with: a hand-stitched portrait that honors the moment without dating itself, suited equally to a Fourth of July display, a year-round patriotic vignette, or a permanent place on the wall.</p> <h3>Where This Piece Lives in Your Home</h3> <p>Imagine the finished piece framed in a distressed walnut or weathered barnwood frame, hung above a parlor mantel beside a folded service flag and a brass eagle. The gold ground tones echo aged paper and linen, settling naturally into a room with deep red, cream, or navy walls. It belongs in the kind of home that takes American history seriously — not as decoration, but as memory.</p> <p>Equally at home in a den, library, or hallway gallery wall, <strong>Sweet Land of Liberty</strong> reads beautifully alongside vintage maps, sepia photographs, and other Americana. For collectors of patriotic needlework, it pairs naturally with portrait pieces, period samplers, and original postcard reproductions. A gift suited to veterans, history teachers, military families, or anyone who treasures the craftsmanship of a finished hand-stitched piece.</p> <h3>Pattern Specifications</h3> <p>Sunrays Creations <strong>patterns</strong> use only full cross stitches — no blends, no fractional stitches, no specialty work. We rely on an abundance of solid colors to produce a realistic, high-definition finished image. <strong>Sweet Land of Liberty</strong> is charted with 45 solid colors on White Aida fabric.</p> <ul><li><strong>Stitch Count:</strong> 180w × 282h</li><li><strong>Recommended Fabric:</strong> White Aida (not included)</li><li><strong>Colors Used:</strong> 45 solid DMC colors (floss not included)</li></ul> <p><strong>Four approximate finished sizes:</strong></p> <ul><li><strong>14 Count:</strong> 12-3/4"w × 20-1/8"h</li><li><strong>16 Count:</strong> 11-1/4"w × 17-5/8"h</li><li><strong>18 Count:</strong> 10"w × 15-5/8"h</li><li><strong>22 Count:</strong> 8-1/8"w × 12-3/4"h</li></ul> <p><em>Dimensions do not include frame or mat.</em></p> <h3>What You Will Receive (and What You Will Not)</h3> <p><strong>You will receive:</strong> a printed counted cross stitch pattern including a color visual photograph of the finished design, the complete charted pattern, wash and care instructions, working tips, an instruction sheet identifying the recommended fabric and finished sizes, and a complete color listing showing the number of skeins to purchase.
