The Minnesota Rebel Loon is a community-created symbol combining Minnesota's state bird, the Common Loon, with the Star Wars Rebel Alliance "Starbird" emblem. Created in January 2026 under a Creative Commons license, it represents resistance, solidarity, and community strength of the "Northern Rebel Alliance." It has been adopted by various advocacy groups and community organizers in Minnesota as a symbol of support for immigrant rights and local community action against ICE.
This kit comes with everything you need to create the sampler, including: a five-page instruction guide, a full-color 8×11 pattern, full skeins of embroidery thread, 24-gauge DMC needle, and a blank aida-cloth canvas sized for the pattern (with finished edges!).
These kits are hand-crafted and made to order, using 90% recycled and repurposed materials; therefore, some threads and cloth are subject to variance in color. I work hard to ensure that the included threads and aida cloth closely match the prescribed colors of the patterns I’ve designed; however, if you do not like the included colors, remember that the materials included in the kit are there to get you started — you are always welcome to use your own!
Further, samples pictured in this listing show variance in creative execution. The provided pattern is a guideline. As you develop your skills in embroidery, you will find countless ways to imagine and expand and embellish patterns over and over again!
All proceeds from purchase of this pattern are donated to mutual aid relief in the Minneapolis area.
