Queer Stitch Kits: Philly Style Pride Heart
This Golden Schelle original cross stitch pattern depicts the queer/gay/GLBT+ pride flag in a heart shape. In 2017, this version with black and brown stripes added was created in Philadelphia to call attention to intersectional issues of racism in the queer community. Identities are not either/or; black and brown queers have always been at the forefront of queer liberation movements; trans BIPOC remain the most vulnerable members of our population. We choose to include the black and brown stripes in affirmation of these facts.
This design uses nine colors of embroidery thread or floss and takes up 34x35 stitches (732 total stitches). On 11-count Aida, that's just under 3 1/4" tall and wide; two and a half inches on 14 count; and juuuuust under 2" on 18 count cloth. The PDF includes two images of the chart and a listing of floss colors used with stitch counts for each color.
