My next start...

Feather Your Nest by Country Stitches. Most everyone knows my love of birds (especially oversized and plain old fat birds) and this one is very much my taste because she is so prominent in the sampler and her color. This is a fairly large design. It calls for 28ct. over 1 but I am going to be using 40ct. Finished Size will be 7.5 x 10.5
I made a start on it this evening while watching TV with hubby.



Design: Feather Your Nest
Designer: Country Stitches
Fabric: 40ct. Maple Sugar
Fibers: DMC
Start Date:3-2-2011
Finish Date:


Thank you all so much for your sweet comments/emails about my finish of Emma Rose. I appreciate them so much.
Thank you for visiting. Please do come again!
hugs and love from SC

I too love cardinals-especially being a transplanted New Yorker here in CA. I think I'll have to find this design for myself.
I love reading your blog. Happy Stitching!
