The Sweet Birds Sing was one of the two new books by Blackbird Designs offered as part of the 2025 Nashville Needlework Market. The book contains three projects. Two of them were part of the Quilter’s Station Retreat in September 2023.
I decided to stitch the big project first, The Sweet Birds Sing that is shown on the cover finished as a needleroll. I plan on either framing it or finishing it as a bellpull.
The suggested fabric is 36 ct Heartland from Picture This Plus but I selected a piece of 16ct Vintage Country Mocha I had in my stash. I used the called for floss (some DMC and some fancy floss).
