Cuckoo Bird Sampler is the latest in this series by Heart in Hand. The model was stitched on 36ct Antique Lace linen using Weeks Dye Works Bark floss.
I had already picked out a piece of backing fabric, so I selected a different color scheme. I chose a piece of 16ct aida from my stash and Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe floss Chestnuts and Bronze Dahlia. The tiny beads used on the branch came with the chart. This will join the other small pillows in one of my dough bowls once I finish it.
After I finished this one as a smallish pin pillow, I decided to add some rusched ribbon following Vonna Pfeiffer’s wonderful tutorial.
Pat, I love your color selections for Cuckoo. Well done with getting the stitching completed! Can’t wait to see it in your dough bowl.
