I love this one. The colors are so pretty, and of course anything with birdies...

That's a big piece on 40 ct! I can't wait to see your finish. =)

DonnaTN said...

I love the little nest with the lovely blue eggs!

Linda O said...

Not long now and it will all be finished!!! It really is a lovely piece.
I've just started stitching on 28ct linen, have always stitched on aida before, and can't believe how easy it is to stitch, always thought it would be difficult, and it just looks and feels so much nicer.
I haven't your entered your giveaways but just wanted to to say how generous and kind you are, and thats from someone who has recieved a bundle of goodies from you!!!!! Thank you Becky xx
Love to you Linda O xxxx

It's looking great Becky! It's a fairly good size piece considering you're stitcing on 40ct. Can you tell me where you purchase your Lakeside Linens from? I'm having a hard time finding an OLS where I don't have to wait forever for it to arrive.

Faye said...

Hey Becky, Thanks for the dimensions for the 40ct...still a good size considering it is on 40..the bird looks more "rust" than "red", or perhaps it is just the way it comes across on-line... What are the reddish colors of dmc in that bird?? I am seriously considering investing in this chart...Thanks and good job!! Faye

Love that fat birdie, Becky! I woke up to birds singing this morning for the first time in so long. What a lovely sound. Hopefully Spring is not far away.

I came within a hair of purchasing this chart. But finally decided on BBD's Stitcher's Journey book. Now I'm having second thoughts-it is so adorable!

Karen said...

Wanted to say how lovely your latest bird project is turning out. Very pretty. And I do like your choice of fabric, much better than white.
Will it be framed or become a pillow? ...K

I have loved watching this one grow Becky, I just love it, I have thing for anything with birds on at the moment, I'm hoping to stitch enough designs to have a bird wall
as I live in the uk I usually order my charts from 123 stitch but they don't stock country stitches charts, so I will enjoy admiring yours :)
