This crewel rendition of the Presidential Seal from Katie of Under the Red Umbrella first caught my eye for its meticulous stitching, but the story behind it ended up being equally mesmerizing. She was commissioned to stitch it as a replica of crewel piece made for President Nixon by his daughter. I never knew about this little piece of stitchy history, and loved reading the story behind it. Check out her blog post to get the full scoop!
