Historic Mount Rushmore
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
In 1923, South Dakota state historian Doane Robinson conceived the idea of using enormous carvings of western heroes to attract tourists to the Black Hills. He contacted sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who visited the area in 1924. When Borglum saw the massive granite face of Mount Rushmore, he exclaimed, "America will walk across that skyline!" He convinced Robinson that a national theme was needed, and they settled on a quartet of United States presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Starting in 1927, the carving was completed in late 1941 by Borglum's son, following his father's untimely death earlier that year. Today, the Mount Rushmore National Memorial has become a great icon of American history, and attracts millions of visitors each year, just as Doane Robinson had envisioned so long ago.
Finished size 6" by 4½" on 18 count Charles Craft fabric. Kit includes material, DMC floss, needle, instructions, and color photograph of finished project. Designed by Ceil Humphreys for The Posy Collection.
