Austin Bats Ornament

Near sunset each day, thousands of tourists assemble to watch these flying mammals as they cascade into the skies in search of insects, consuming five tons or more in each nocturnal foray.

Come and Take It Flag
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
"Come and Take It!" has been a wartime taunt used by combatants since the times of the Greek and Persion empires. A flag bearing this slogan played an important role in the Texas Revolution. On October 2, 1835, the cannon depicted on the flag was fired by a group of Texans against Mexican forces in the Battle of Gonzales, the first engagement of the revolution. Four years earlier, the cannon had been issued by the Mexican army to the colony at San Antonio de Bexar for their defense, and had then been transported to Gonzales. When the Mexican army came to retrieve the cannon, they were met with armed resistance and and a flag bearing this historic taunt. The flag and its slogan became widely known throughout Texas.

Don't Mess With Texas
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
This feisty cross stitch project connects directly to the independent spirit of Texans. What is it about Texas that produces and promotes such an attitude among those who live there? Is it something in the air or in the water? Could it be the sheer size mentality? Or is it something in the past that has been brought forward generation by generation? Whatever it is, you can see it and even feel it everywhere. Whether you already live in Texas or are a Texan wannabe, you can stitch and frame this design to proclaim your Texas connection, and to alert all others to watch their step.

La Belle Counted
Cross Stitch Kit
La Belle was one of four ships in a 1684 expedition led by the legendary French explorer Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle (1643-1687) under the aegis of King Louis XIV. La Salle was charged with establishing a French colony at the mouth of the Mississippi River, creating trade routes, and locating silver mines in Spanish territory to eliminate Spain’s chokehold on the Gulf and create a base from which to launch attacks on New Spain and seize control of its silver mines. Hardships plagued the French expedition as it was attacked by pirates, overshot the Mississippi River, and landed in the Gulf of Mexico off the Texas shore. La Belle was wrecked in a violent
storm and La Salle eventually was murdered by his own men. It was this French incursion into Spanish territory that became the catalyst for Spain’s renewed attention to the region that would become Texas and their ultimate settlement of the area.

Longhorns and Bluebonnets
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
The longhorn is as much an emblem of Texas as the bald eagle is of the United States.

Painting for more than three decades, McElwaine is passionate about documenting and interpreting western scenes from her Oklahoma ranch upbringing as well as from her current Texas surroundings. During those same three decades, The Posy Collection has been interpreting our major historical sites, prominent natural wonders, and selected heritage topics in cross stitch. This kit is a result of a combination of their efforts aimed at "preserving our story in stitches."

Texas Flags
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
Although a number of flags are associated with the history of Texas, the four flags featured in this kit are particularly significant. In the so-called Alamo Flag, "Texians" placed 1824 at its center as a means of protesting the steady erosion of rights granted by the Mexican constitution of that year. The First Flag of the Republic included the single white star that came to signify the Texas "Lone Star" perspective. The Third Flag of the Republic became the official state flag of Texas when it joined the United States. The "Come and take it" flag includes the image of a cannon that Texas defenders dared Mexican forces to attempt to capture during the Texas Revolution.

Texas Rodeo
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
Nothing says "Texas" like a rodeo! Although going to a rodeo is near the top of the list for visitors to Texas, it is a way of life for those who live there.

Practically every major town in Texas, as well as a number of smaller ones, host one or more professional or amateur rodeos each year. The "grandaddy" event is the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. With an 80+ year tradition, the show attracts more than two million attendees. When the rodeo comes to town, Texans put their plans on hold!

The Alamo
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
Founded by Spanish missionaries in 1724, Misión San Antonio de Valero was secularized in 1793 as the town of San Antonio grew around it. In the 1800s, Spanish cavalrymen named the former mission the Alamo. During the Texas Revolution, Texian and Tejano volunteers outsted the Mexican troops in San Antonio and occupied the Alamo in December, 1835. Joined by volunteers and commanded by William B. Travis, the defenders refused to surrender to General Santa Anna and his army. On March 6, 1836, Santa Anna's soldiers attacked in the pre-dawn darkness and by sunrise had overwhelmed the defenders. The Alamo is remembered today as a place where men made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom in a heroic struggle against overwhelming odds. In 1905, the Texas State Legislature granted to the Daughters of the Republic of Texas the custodianship of the Alamo.
