Liberty Rose by Blackbird Designs

Liberty Rose is dated 2015 and was offered as a class project by Old Mill Stitchery. Liberty Rose is also included in the book, Sweet Land of Liberty. The piece is meant to be stitched on two different fabrics then stitched together. You can also stitch it as one piece which is what I will do.
