Winter Bird - finished!

Hello everyone!

A few of you correctly guessed that it would not be long before I finished this little project. He was the second of my seven new starts over the summer and is now the third one to be completed.

Here's a reminder how I left him after a weekend and 4 hours of stitching:


And now all finished:

Bird by Hobikolik (etsy)
Stitched on 16ct Stormy Sea over-dyed aida by sewitall.com 2 over 1
Stitched in Threadworx 1140 Moonlit Skies
Stitch count 80 wide by 80 high
Started - 27th July 2019
Finished - 17th September 2019
Total stitching time - 6 hours 55 minutes


He was. as always, an absolute joy to stitch; those colours are so soothing and Threadworx threads a delight to stitch with. He will be FFOd to match the other three in the set, after which I will photograph and show all four together. I wonder if I (or you) will have a favourite?

Take care,
Rachel x
