This is a freebie available right here. I stitched the birds as Dark-eyed Juncos, as they are my favorite winter visitors. All the other birds we have here are year-round residents, but every winter, these fat little grey Juncos arrive for a visit.
Stitched on 32 ct. grey/white petit point linen from Wichelt with DMC Blanc, 04, 645, 844, 3866; Mill Hill beads in black, 03007, 40479. The grey/white trim is from Hobby Lobby, as are the additional beads and crystals.
WOW! That is such a pretty piece, Honeybee. I love everything about it & thankyou for explaining about the wee grey birds.
