This fine-art cross stitch design, American Gothic, was developed from a painting completed in 1930 by Grant Wood, a well-known Rural Modernist of the 20th Century. The scene shows a couple in the rural Midwest, who depicted the farmer and family of the time. This painting has become one of the most widely known expressions of Americana. The painting is part of the art collection at the Art Institute of Chicago. Stitching your masterpiece has never been more enjoyable than with Serenity Stitchworks!
