Pattern description
This intermediate cross-stitch pattern captures a majestic bald eagle against the iconic red, white, and blue of the American flag in bold, vibrant colors. The 130 x 130 stitch count makes it an achievable project for stitchers with foundational skills, while the crisp geometric rendering of the flag stripes and the eagle's striking golden beak create satisfying visual contrast.

Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
