This month we have quite a recent design as a freebie – it’s one of the pheasants from the Pheasants in Glenbuchat panel that I posted a few weeks back. I’ve simplified it a lot by removing some of the stitching and combining some of the applique areas so that now there are only two appliqués rather than the original three. This should all make it easier to stitch out, but it still looks much like the original. The effect of the pheasant will depend largely on the fabric you choose for the applique steps. In the stitchout I used a blotchy brownish-red for the body and a blotchy grey-brown for the wing. Both areas are pretty thoroughly overstitched (apart from the breast area) but all the same if you can use printed fabric for these areas, it will help suggest the variegated plumage of the bird
A March pheasant
What a lovely bird! Yes, please send me March’s free “The Pheasant”.
Thanks so much.

I would love to have the March Pheasant. I was on the road a few days ago and saw one flying across the hightway I was on. Beautiful!
Wow! I just found this design via a recommendation! Lovely! Would love to try it! Thank you!
Lovely Pheasant. We occasionally see a pheasant in the wetlands area next to our house. Would you please send the design to me? Thank you so much!

Another great looking design. I would love to have it.Thanks!
A very pretty design. I have raised pheasants, they were mean to my chickens.
This is very nice. Please send it to me
The pheasant is lovely and I plan to use some variegated thread to suggest the color variations. Please let him fly over to my email. Thank you very much.
I love your pheasant. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I’d love to have it also.
Hi Mia, Your pheasant is awesome and I think some variegated thread with the mottled fabric you suggested might help to give the wings and body more color. I would love to have your pheasant design. Thanks for considering my request.
Gail

Hello
I tried to digitize a bird but it’s not so beautiful
Thanks for the free design
Love the tail! I will have to compare it to the previous one to see the differences. I don’t see them at first.
You are wonderful to offer such beautiful designs for free.
Please send me the design. I love it!
I think you did a great job on this bird and I would love to have it. Thank You!
Mia, I love the pheasant and would like to add him to my collection of embroidered birds. Thanks!
Wow! This design is so beautiful! I love the detail! Please send me this bird! I am so greatful!
I went back to your January archive to view our original pheasants. They are so beautiful. I appreciate that you reduced the number of appliques down to 2. Thank you so much Mia! I would love to add this lovely guy to my collection.
Please send me your beautiful pheasant. You are truly talented. Thank you.
Your pheasant design is lovely. I would love to have him, Mia. Will you be selling your Birds With Leaves design? Or even just the leaves? I am new to your blog and love your creations.
Thank you,

Thanks so much for your beautiful designs!
So pretty!
Love the tail feathers and would love to have the design. Thank you so much for sharing!
What a beautiful bird…I’d love to receive the design, thank you!
The pheasant seems to be either bowing (to your creative energy!) or looking for something really good to eat. He (she?) is wonderful. Please send me the design.
I think I need this one too. (Like all of them) Thanks,’
Marty

I love his beautiful tail feathers. And his head is made of stitches? Lovely!

thanks for finding ways to keep the beauty from the panel but simplify our stitchout process — this colorful fella is still a standout. Please add my request to the long list of folks asking for the free design! I too luv the alternating bands of the tail feathers.
Could you please sent me the beautiful pheasant.
This peasant would love your pheasant. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your zentangle Zodiac designs, too. Aries looks great.
Is it too late for the pheasant? I would really enjoy the two tree designs. Thanks for your work and the free designs.
