These World War 1 era airplane cross stitch and needlepoint patterns are now available in my shop! 
There’s a great story behind the patterns:
My Grandfather had an old baseball style jacket that featured the nine airplanes in this series. After years of continual use, he eventually wore holes in the elbows, and the elastic trims around the sleeves and bottom of the jacket just wore out. Despite the pleas of his wife, he refused to throw it away. My Mom took the jacket and photocopied the airplanes, then gave the copies to me and I converted them to the charted designs you see now. The photo above shows how my Mom and I needlepointed the airplanes onto 32 to the inch linen, which was insanely small, but they turned out lovely. We gave this project to him on his 80th birthday in 1998 (along with a new jacket).
The patterns are available in a set or individually and includes the Wright Brothers’ Flyer,
the Spad,
a Nieuport 17,
a Fokker DR-1,
the Sopwith Camel (my favorite as it was Snoopy’s plane),
the Spirit of St. Louis,
an Albatross,
and a Fokker D-VII.
