New Mexico Zia Sun: Southwest Pixel Art

Pattern details

Capture the bold spirit of the Southwest. 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. Bonus: This pattern includes 3 border options — classic perforated edge, scalloped edge, and bold modern frame — for that perfect postage stamp look.
