OBAMA PATTERN!

Want one? Purchase any item on this site and I'll include a free pattern in your order!

by the way, I screwed up and had to fake it to balance it out. can you tell where?

Here are the colors in case you want to buy the floss ahead of time.
I would get two skeins of the first three colors to be safe.

I usually avoid politics here, but I love this print by artist Shepard Fairey so much that I wanted to see it in cross stitch.

While stitching away on it, I decided it might be fun to offer it as a gift with any purchase (anything on this site, including gift certificates). This is for the pattern only; you'll have to get the floss and supplies on your own (there is a color key legend with the pattern to guide you).

I have run this idea by Shepard and the folks at obeygiant.com, but I also noticed in this Washington Post article that he encourages broad use and reinterpretation of his images without copyright worries.

So, you have Shepard to thank for all of this. I hope you find hope in his work and also in our new President's message!
