Summer Birds: Goldfinch

 

I am steaming along with my summer birds projects! Latest finish is this realistic Goldfinch from this Etsy shop. I stitched him with the recommended DMC (except for the blue highlight on top of his head, which I omitted) on pale yellow fabric. When choosing my designs for this project, I didn't try to stick with a certain style, I just picked out what I liked: realistic, whimsical, highly stylized, etc. And I'm stitching them on colorful fabrics, so the look I'm hoping for is a sort of busy, bustling, cheerful little flock of stitched birds in all shapes and styles and colors. I am really enjoying this project. Four finishes so far, and a notebook full of birds to choose from! Who will be next?

  4. Another lovely little bird for your summer bird project! The goldfinch is very pretty, and I love the pale yellow fabric you chose. It's such a treat to see them when they visit our bird feeder.
