2016’s free shadow bird

Welcome back to the blog for 2016 – I hope everybody had a peaceful and enjoyable holiday. As it’s the first week of the month, it’s time for a new freebie. I adapted this one from the last design I posted (“Realm of Water, Realm of Air”) As you can see, it’s one of the outlined birds from the top of the panel poised against a background of a “shadow” which echoes the shape of the bird. The bird is an outline only so you will be able to see through it clearly to any pattern on the background fabric. You can of course stitch the bird without the shadow if you prefer.

The design is in .pes v6, which most people seem to be able to use, and is for the 5×7 (130×180 mm). If you can’t use v.6, just drop a comment to the blog letting me know what version you need

  1. Your shadow bird is an awesome design. What background colors do you recommend or think would showcase your design the best? Hope you had a fantastic Christmas and New Year’s Eve!

  3. Thank you for the shadow bird design! (my computer died several weeks ago and it’s been mayhem here as you can imagine) Finally getting back online and getting programs restored. Wishing you the best in 2016!
