Here is the 1776 Eagle pattern in full view. I decided to make my stars 5 point stars as in the US Flag. Changed the date from 1907 on the original antique to 1776. But had questioned if I wanted the date of Independence from England (1776) or the date the Constitution was written in 1787. You can see what I chose.
Also decided to add the leaves at the bottom ~ but had also thought of having a wavy ribbon instead. I sent Lauren (Rugs and Pugs) both line drawings to see which she preferred, and the leaves won.
Am not sure how I want to hook the wings yet so will probably try something on one side and my other idea on the other wing to see which I prefer. Below is the original antique.
Hope your week goes well and happy hooking.
