Grand Olde Flag II is a set of three patriotic-themed pincushion designs. Each piece is designed to be a quick and enjoyable stitch, with each taking approximately a day to complete. The color palette, particularly the distinctive blue, was inspired by the cover of the vintage sheet music titled "In the Good Old United States" by Roger Lewis and Harry H. Mincer. This non-traditional blue lends a faded, antique charm to the designs.
