Another little lovely from Pigeon Coop Designs! Isn't this one so pretty? It's one of a pair of swooping swallows. I only stitched one because I'm trying to get as many different birds stitched as I can, but at some point I'll stitch the other one. The only changes I made were using DMC Blanc for the clouds and using a Smyrna stitch for the single stitches, as I like the look better than single cross stitches and they're easier to finish off if you're not carrying thread between stitches. He's stitched on 28 ct. Blue Whisper.
I am so excited for the Pigeon Coop Designs book being released at the end of July. I provided links to all the PCD stuff in this post, in case you missed it.
Also, I just noticed this morning that he is having a great sale on his digital patterns until the end of June. If you've been thinking about picking up a few, now would be a good time!
Happy Stitching!
Hello Honeybee: Love this bird, we are bird watchers feed the birds and love seeing the Orioles eating at the three feeders of marmalade, thank-you for the link and information, I am looking forward to seeing the other birds you stitch.

I love having a feeder and watching the birds, but we can't have them here because of the bears and I miss it so much! Always a special treat to spot an Oriole!

What a pretty bird finish, Honeybee! We only put out the seed feeders during the winter due to the bears.
