Description

“I Lift my Lamp” was designed to commemorate the 250th anniversary  of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in America.  The iconic image of Lady Liberty has represented freedom in many countries and the statue in New York harbor is a strong symbol of democracy.

Episode #85 on my YouTube Channel – Susan Standley Stitch in Time, introduces more of the history and background behind the design.

The model was stitched using Au Ver A Soie – Soie d’ alger on 37 count Legacy Linen Cloudburst.

The stitched area measures 7 1/2″ x 10 5/8″

The stitch count is 143 wide x 197 high

The kit contains:

14 Au Ver a Soie – Soie d’ Alger  skeins

A special finish is coming soon! Stay tuned.

I hope you will consider joining the start-a-long that begins on July 4th 2026 (or any time) and stitch this piece during the celebratory year of 2026!
