Looking for Spring

April 4, 2024 By patgeary

Looking for Spring by Blackbird Designs is a small chart included in the 2023 Nashville Needlework Market Cookbook (page 26). The stitch count is 85w x 67h. The called for fabric is 36ct Oatmeal by Fiber on a Whim. I chose a piece of 16ct aida I had in my stash.

I used some of the called for floss and some DMC for what I did not have in my stash.

Since it is small, I will probably finish it as a pin pillow to add to one of the overflowing dough bowls. Interesting note. I decided to scan the stitched piece to see how the colors looked. It is actually much closer to the colors that the photo taken with my iPad shows.

The leafy fabric is what I used as a backing for the pillow.

    This is such a pretty bird finish, Pat. The fabric you stitched it on is lovely. Well done! Happy Friday!
