A country specific design is a great way to show off the place you call home! Whether it's for a specific celebration, to take a piece of your country with you wherever you may be, or to show your love for another country you may have visited, there are lots of great options to choose from with Sweet Pea! We selected just 8 designs from each continent to get you started:
North America
It's hard to choose just one design from our USA projects, but one of our favourites (and yours!) has got to be the Cowboy Boot Flag. A classic any time of the year, and one we loved so much we made a Christmas version too.

Bonus design: The Fall Trapunto Quilt gives us both American and Canadian vibes, so we had to add this in for good measure. Plus, Cassie just made a version in the colours of Canada's flag that we love!
Europe
We have designs from all over Europe, so we chose something that hits close to home for Sweet Pea - the Cuckoo Clock Hanger, in honour of our German team member, Christine! This design has the option of adding a real clock mechanism and FSL pieces to really bring it to life.

United Kingdom
The UK is close to the hearts of many in Australia, with strong ties in our culture. One of those cultural ties is tea - and our Tea Cosy (the first we ever designed!), that was part of a set with our Tea Time Flag and free Teacup Table Centre, is a favourite we have to highlight.

Africa
There's nothing quite like the animals of Africa, so of course, we had to highlight our African Animals Table Runner - which happens to be a favourite of yours too! How can you not love the majestic creatures that call this land home?

Asia
Given our proximity to Asia, it was a little hard to choose just one design from one country! However, many of the Sweet Pea team have visited Japan and it is a popular destination for many Australians to live or holiday! In honour of this, we chose the Japanese Obi Tote Bag.

Bonus design: One of our designers, Nadia, has a penchant for tile designs thanks to her travels across Asia, including in Malaysia, which inspired her Decorative Tile Coasters and Decorative Tile Placemat.
South America
We had to highlight a unique embroidery method in this continent through the Aztec Style Chenille Cushion! This unique design takes influence from geometric patterns often found in Aztec culture and still popular today!

Australia
Being an Australian company, we have so many Aussie designs to pick from, but wanted to choose something that captures the essence of where we are based in sunny Queensland, and so we chose the Tropical Beach Scene Hanger, a scene we often enjoy in Brisbane's summers!

New Zealand
For New Zealand, we chose resident Kiwi Martyn's favourite design, the NZ Flora and Fauna Runner. This design showcases some of the beautiful nature you can find in our neighbour country.
