Route 66

Cross stitch pattern by Pickle Barrel Designs. "Get your kicks on Route 66!" The blue car is taking a drive down Route 66. Pine trees stand along the highway. Leading from Chicago to Los Angeles, and known by several names throughout the years including the “Mother Road,” “Main Street of America,” and the “Will Rogers Highway,” Route 66 served travelers for more than 50 years, before totally succumbing to the “new and improved” interstate system. Running through the states of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, the highway became one of the most famous roads in America. For decades, this historic path served thousands who were migrating west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930’s. Stitch count is 103 x 56.
