This design is part of our Full 50 State Postage Stamp Bundle → https://threadingourjourney.etsy.com/listing/4362146272/50-state-postage-stamp-cross-stitch Featuring the Zia sun symbol and warm desert tones, this mini postage stamp design is perfect for adventurers, stitchers, and sunshine lovers alike. Fun fact: The Zia symbol, sacred to the Zia Pueblo, was adopted for New Mexico’s flag in 1925—its four groups of four rays represent harmony in nature: the four seasons, directions, times of day, and stages of life.
