This month’s free design is another one from the archives. A long time ago I drew and digitised a series of Celtic animal, and this, I think, was my favourite. It’s two Celtic birds with the intertwined forms and scrolls that are so typical of much of Scottish and Irish art. For once it's not an applique, only embroidery. It's for the 5 x 7 hoop (130 x 180 mm) and there are 31,587 stitches. Note that there are quite a lot of jump stitches – it's impossible to avoid them in designs like these

Love the birds. I look forward to getting the design. You are so generous.
Wow! Has a lot of “pop”! I can just imagine how very different the design would look with different color schemes. This one is very vibrant, and it would look like an entirely different work done in more subdued shades in the same color family.
I missed out coming in late!
🙂
Another fine design from you. I look forward to playing with this little beauty of yours! Thanks so much for your generosity!
