Home of the Brave
Sampler
Price: $16 (chart)
1776 to 2026: a sampler for America’s 250th birthday. A little red-roofed house, a flower urn, two quilt stars, a heart with 250 and the flag, all in their own blocks around HOME OF THE BRAVE, framed by a red and blue striped border.
I stitched it on my 36 ct Bisquit Linen, which I hand-dye myself, with just six Weeks Dye Works colors and DMC Snow White.
Shops: order wholesale directly from me. Wholesale info
