This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled American Gothic designed from a painting by Grant Wood shows a stern farmer holding a pitchfork alongside his daughter before a white wooden house with a Gothic window. As someone who appreciates iconic rural art like myself, I find the faint scent of dry hay and sun-baked earth drifting on a calm prairie breeze very noticeable. Every crisp outline captures the steadfast spirit of peak summer light across their stoic expressions, making this celebrated portrait a true joy to stitch. Our patterns use only full cross stitches. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
