Historic Flags of General ...

Historic Flags of General George Washington; The Posy Collection; Kit includes: fabric, floss,needle, chart,
instructions and color photo of finished project.
The two flags in this kit were closely associated with General
George Washington as he led the Continental Army in its struggle
to win independence and liberty, and to create the new American
nation. The design for the colonial flag is based on a Congressional
resolution that declared the flag be "13 stripes alternate red and
white, and the Union be 13 stars white in a blue field representing
a new constellation." The nearly square blue flag with 13 sixpointed
stars was General Washington's personal standard during
the Revolutionary War (1775-1783). It symbolized the presence and
authority of Washington as Commander-in-Chief.; 6" x 11"; Aida; 18ct

La Belle
|
La Belle; The Posy Collection; Kit includes: fabric, floss,needle, chart,
instructions and color photo of finished project.
La Belle was one of four ships in a 1684 expedition led by the legendary
French explorer Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle (1643-1687) under the
aegis of King Louis XIV. La Salle was charged with establishing a French
colony at the mouth of the Mississippi River, creating trade routes, and
locating silver mines in Spanish territory to eliminate Spain’s chokehold on
the Gulf and create a base from which to launch attacks on New Spain and
seize control of its silver mines. Hardships plagued the French expedition
as it was attacked by pirates, overshot the Mississippi River, and landed in
the Gulf of Mexico off the Texas shore. La Belle was wrecked in a violent
storm and La Salle eventually was murdered by his own men. It was this
French incursion into Spanish territory that became the catalyst for Spain’s
renewed attention to the region that would become Texas and their ultimate
settlement of the area.; 7" x 10"; Aida; 18ct

through her dolls, cards, and paintings. All of her characters are based on
actual personas, and each has its own unique personality. Her Field Hand
painting was inspired by a faded photograph from the 1920s depicting the
daily labor in a large cotton field. For three decades, The Posy Collection

Tea Party; The Posy Collection; Kit includes: fabric, floss,needle, chart,
instructions and color photo of finished project.
This image of two sisters having a "pretend" tea party captures
a special moment between them. Generations of children
have experienced similar moments, whether with siblings
or best friends. The design is inspired by an original 19th
century silhouette that was cut freehand with scissors from
black paper. Such cutting, or scherenschnitte, was practiced
by European artisans in the 16th century. The art form made
its way to Colonial America in the 18th century and was used
widely for creating silhouette portraits as well as depicting
everyday events.; 6" x 5"; Aida; 18ct

Texas Flags
|
Texas Flags; The Posy Collection; Kit includes: fabric, floss,needle, chart,
instructions and color photo of finished project.
Although a number of flags are associated with the history of Texas, the
four flags featured in this kit are particularly significant. In the so-called
Alamo Flag, "Texians" placed 1824 at its center as a means of protesting
the steady erosion of rights granted by the Mexican constitution of that year.
The First Flag of the Republic included the single white star that came to
signify the Texas "Lone Star" perspective. The Third Flag of the Republic
became the official state flag of Texas when it joined the United States. The
"Come and take it" flag includes the image of a cannon that Texas defenders
dared Mexican forces to attempt to capture during the Texas Revolution.; 3.75" x 9.5"; Aida; 18ct

Evening Prayers

Evening Prayers; The Posy Collection; Kit includes: fabric, floss,needle, chart,
instructions and color photo of finished project.
This image of a mother and child by Michael Schwab captures the
special moment when, at the end of a busy day, evening prayers are
said. Generations of children have knelt with their mothers to repeat
the familiar words of "Now I lay me down to sleep...," or a similar
bedtime prayer. For nearly three decades, Michael Schwab has built
a reputation as one of America's most recognized and best-loved
graphic artists. His use of large flat areas of color, dramatic
perspectives, and bold yet simple designs make his work easily
recognizable. During that same time period, The Posy Collection has
been interpreting our major historical sites, prominent natural
wonders, and selected graphic arts in cross stitch. This kit is a result
of a combination of their efforts aimed at "preserving our story in
stitches." Michael Schwab's Evening Prayers in cross stitch would
be at home on the wall of any child's room.; 7" x 5"; Aida; 18ct

Ephrata Cloister Fraktur; The Posy Collection; Kit includes: fabric, floss,needle, chart,
instructions and color photo of finished project.
The design of this kit is taken from an eighteenth century choral
manuscript at Ephrata Cloister. Brothers and Sisters from
the community decorated their choral books with beautiful
illuminations often using flowers and doves depicting the heavenly
home they were anticipating. One of America's earliest religious
communities, Ephrata Cloister was founded in 1732 by German
settlers seeking spiritual goals. They became known for their
music, calligraphy, architecture, and printing. At the zenith of the
community in the 1740s and 1750s, about 300 members worked
and worshipped at the Cloister. Today, Ephrata Cloister is a historic
site, administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum
Commission and interprets this piece of William Penn's "Holy
Experiment."; 4" x 5.5"; Aida; 18ct

The Charles W. Morgan is the last surviving wooden whaling ship from
the great days of sail. Built in 1841 in New Bedford, Massachusetts,
the Morgan was retired after a successful 80-year whaling career.
From 1921 to 1941, she was placed on exhibit in South Dartmouth,
Massachusetts, before being moved to her present berth at Mystic
Seaport. She has served as an educational historic resource, a film and
media star, and a porthole into America's rich and diverse history. She
is also registered as a National Historic Landmark. Mystic Seaport
is an appropriate home for the Morgan. Since 1929, this historical
shipbuilding area has become America's leading maritime museum,
a dynamic educational institution designed to preserve America’s
maritime culture.; 8.75" x 7.5"; Aida; 18ct

Compass Rose
|
Compass Rose; The Posy Collection; Kit includes: fabric, floss,needle, chart,
instructions and color photo of finished project.
Before magnetic compasses became available in the 13th century,
seafaring captains used a diagram called a wind rose to gauge the
direction of the prevailing breezes. With the advent of the compass,
this diagram evolved into the compass rose, highlighting the cardinal
directions and often including as many as 32 "points" or directional
arrows in all. When printed onto nautical charts, the compass rose
provided the directional reference needed to set accurate courses.
This enabled the early transatlantic explorers to sail with confidence.
The compass rose in this kit includes points for 16 directions. North,
east, south, and west are indicated by the main red points, while the
intermediate points are shown with smaller points of other colors.; 9.5" x 9"; Aida; 18ct

The original Mayflower carried the Pilgrims to New England in
1620. After a voyage of 66 days, the 102 weary travelers finally
sighted land at the tip of Cape Cod. They scouted for a suitable
place to settle and finally decided upon Patuxet, known to the
English as Plymouth. In 1955-7, a reproduction, Mayflower II, was
built in Brixham, England. She was intended as a gift to America
in appreciation of US assistance to Great Britain during WWII. A
specially selected crew sailed the ship across the Atlantic, arriving
in June of 1957. Mayflower II is now part of Plimoth Plantation, the
living history museum of 17th-century Plymouth, Massachusetts.; 8.75" x 8.5"; Aida; 18ct

seven states that had seceded by March, 1861, when the
flag was adopted.

Elizabeth Starbuck Sampler; The Posy Collection; Kit includes: fabric, floss,needle, chart,
instructions and color photo of finished project.
This is an example of a marking sampler, usually one of the
first pieces a girl did in preparation for her duties as a wife and
mother. It taught her to stitch the alphabet so she could mark
her family's linens with initials and the date. Marking linens
allowed the woman to keep track of her linens. She could
rotate them to prevent them wearing out and, should they be
sent out for laundering, it would insure their prompt return.

Association in Nantucket, Massachusetts, and is as close to
the original as possible in color and design.; 5" x 6"; Aida; 18ct
