Summer Birds: Stitch and Be Glad

 

Another quick finish for my Summer Birds project! This one is by Needlework Press and is in both the 2019 and 2022 editions of the Nashville Needlework Market Cookbook. As you can see, I did change all the colors!

Stitched on PTP Valor

Words: GAST Wood Trail*

Robin: GAST Wood Trail, GAST Wood Rose, Weeks Curry, DMC 310 for the eye

Branch: GAST Heirloom Gold, GAST Bayberry

*A note about Wood Trail: I have three skeins of this and all three are different; one is slightly more of a grayish brown, one more golden brown, one more chocolate brown. I used the grayish brown.

I love this design. I really like the sturdy, straightforward character of the font, and the "keep your chin up" feeling of the sentiment. Just a cheerful little design.

I'm working on my next project for my Summer Birds. It's by a new-to-me designer that I have really taken a liking to and I'm finding working on this project very relaxing... when I show you the design you'll see why! Looking forward to sharing it with you soon, so stay tuned!

Happy Stitching!
