Home of the Brave

Home of the Brave was designed by Barb Adams of Blackbird Designs and published in 2002. Jean Lea of The Attic in Mesa Arizona released an alternate version as a remembrance of September 11, 2001.I chose to stitch it as originally charted by Barb.


 I chose to use a piece of 16ct Moonstone aida by Fiber on a Whim and a selection of my Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe floss.

Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe floss colors that I used in stitching this one:

  • Grand Old Flag (red)
  • Indigo (blue)
  • Frog Prince (house)
  • Plantation Brown (flag pole/tree trunk)
  • River Bank (leaves and grass)
  • Golden Weave (alphabet)
  • Weathered Barnwood (house roof)
  • Dried Hay (house shutters and door)
  • Anchor White 

Now I need to decide how I want to finish this one. I decided on a simple wood frame from Amazon.
