Did you know?
The bald eagle is North America's largest raptor and the national bird of the United States since 1782, appearing on the Great Seal and countless emblems of American identity. Known for their powerful talons, keen eyesight, and impressive wingspans of up to seven feet, eagles are apex predators that hunt fish from rivers and coasts, mating for life and building some of the largest nests in the animal kingdom.

Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern brings together two iconic American symbols in a single dramatic composition: a majestic eagle overlaid with stars and stripes. The design uses a deep, jewel-toned palette—navy, burgundy, forest green, and charcoal—punctuated by crisp white stars and cream accents that echo the flag's stripes.
At 122 x 122 stitches with 30 DMC thread colors, this intermediate-level needlework project rewards patient stitchers with rich color blending and dimensional shading. The eagle's feathered texture and the flag's layered composition create visual depth that translates beautifully when worked on 14-count Aida fabric.
Perfect for patriotic displays year-round or as a meaningful gift for veterans and flag enthusiasts, this pattern captures strength and national pride. The muted, sophisticated color story—avoiding bright primary red—gives it an heirloom quality that complements both traditional and modern home décor.
