Courage by New York Dreamer Needleworks is a patriotic cross stitch design from the Virtues series featuring the word “Courage” surrounded by birds, flowers, stars, and Americana-inspired details. Designed by Ezia Gladstone, the piece has a warm folk-art feel with a soft, traditional color palette.

The design measures 85 stitches wide by 55 stitches high. The model was stitched 2 over 2 on 36-count Not Another Sampler linen by BeStitchMe using Weeks Dye Works, Classic Colorworks, and DMC floss. DMC conversions are provided for the specialty threads. An optional DMC floss pack is available using the designer’s conversion.
