As you may have seen in yesterday’s post, I have resolved to complete at least one patriotic cross stitch pattern per month in 2026 to celebrate America’s 250th Birthday. Lindsey M. Weight of Primrose Cottage Stitches is one of my favorite designers and she has quite a few patriotic cross stitch patterns and kits available. I will be doing several of them this year, including the one below:
The Prairie Schooler is a company that operated for about 33 years before they closed up shop. Their website is still up for informational purposes only and you can see their entire library of patterns. Though they are no longer taking orders, you can often still find their patterns at various retail shops, or on sites like Ebay and Etsy. Since I am committing to doing 12 projects this year, and my full-time job takes up a good chunk of my time, I am trying to keep them on the smaller side. The Prairie Schooler used to give out free mini-cards which had a small pattern related to the books that they were promoting, some of which were patriotic themed. Here are a couple of them below:
We have chickens at HootOwl Homestead, so what could be better that combining chickens and patriotism? Paulette Stewart of Plum Street Samplers is also one of my favorite designers and she has designed an adorable pattern called Hen Peck. This is definitely on the list for this year!
And how could I pass up a company with an owl in their name? I recently bought the pattern below that was made especially for America’s birthday this year. It was designed by Helga Magro of Owl Stitching House, and if you are interested, you can visit her Etsy store <a href="http://
There are so many amazing cross stitch pattern designers, it’s going to make it so hard to choose which patterns to do. I already buy patterns like I’m immortal! I have already started the one by Primrose Cottage Stitches, though I am not doing them only one star at a time!
