Blackbird Designs Christmas

January 7, 2020 By patgeary

Just after Christmas I received a lovely surprise box from my very favorite designers, Barb and Alma of Blackbird Designs. Just look at all the goodies that were included.

The charts were ones from a recent retreat held in November 2019 at The Attic in Mesa AZ. I had seen them posted earlier and really wanted to stitch the two smaller ones. The large sampler, Little Birds, I will hold for a later start as it is BIG. Two pieces of 18ct Heartland aida were also included. Needless to say, I am a very happy camper. Thank you Barb and Alma.

I decided to start on Autumn Abundance first, so gridded the piece of fabric and started stitching. I have stitched two of the five sections.

I asked another stitcher, Jan Emerick, if she would finish this one for me. Here is the finished piece and I love it especially the little twig at the top.
