The designs run through summer and Fourth of July icons: Uncle Sam's striped top hat, a waving flag, a flag-front barn lettered USA, a watermelon slice stitched with YUM, a frosted cupcake, a pair of flip flops, a gumball machine marked 10 cents, a sailboat, a shield, firework and pinwheel bursts, and a JULY 4TH banner. Everything is worked in true red, denim and navy blue, and soft cream on a pebble-tan ground, a classic Americana palette that reads vintage rather than bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the Pattern Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the printed paper pattern only.

Each ornament is only 28 stitches square, so a single design comes together in an evening and the little stack grows fast, which makes this an easy set to carry through a busy summer or to split among friends for a group stitch. Because all twelve share one count, palette, and finished size, they hang together as a collection while each motif still stands on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe finishing is half the fun. Mounted in a tart tin or on a round sticky board with a ribbon loop, these go from flat stitched circles to dimensional ornaments at home on a tree, a wreath, a gift, or a tiered tray, and the small scale keeps the counting easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e It's Sew Emma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem #:\u003c\/strong\u003e ISE-4012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e It's Sew Emma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e It's Sew Emma (Fat Quarter Shop)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cross Stitch Pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Confident Beginner.
