Needlepoint Kit or Canvas: popular Stars And Stripes

STARS AND STRIPES

The national flag of the United States of America. Thirteen equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton bearing fifty small, white, five-pointed stars. The fifty stars on the flag represent the 50 states and the 13 stripes represent the original thirteen colonies that rebelled against the British monarchy and became the first states in the Union.

ABOUT THIS FLAG

Nicknames for the flag include the "Stars and Stripes", "Old Glory," and "The Star-Spangled Banner" (also the name of the national anthem). A national legend credits Betsy Ross for sewing the first flag popular from a pencil sketch handed to her by George Washington.
