In this short episode, Susan of Susan's Daily Stitch in Time pauses her ongoing series on Esther and the Quakers in America to introduce a new original design, 'I Lift My Lamp', inspired by the Statue of Liberty and its historical imagery. She explains the symbolism behind the design, tracing the figure of Liberty from ancient goddesses to the American statue, and shows antique textiles that influenced her work. The design is stitched on Legacy Linen in Cloudburst with A Vera Swat del Ciel threads, and Susan thanks her model stitchers, Andrea Ustaloo and Karen Decker. She announces a start-along beginning on 4 July 2026, with the goal of finishing by 4 July 2027, and mentions that kits and charts will be available on her website soon.
