The Accidental Embroiderer

An eccentric – although colourful – freebie

For the past few weeks, I’ve been working hard on a commission for a woman who wanted a series of funny, colourful birds. I’ve finished what she wanted and am now totally fed up with stitching out eccentric, colourful birds! However there is one bird left over, which I thought might find a home as a freebie with blog readers. It’s for the 5×8 inch (130 x 180 mm) hoop and is embroidery alone – no appliqué. The flowers and leaves stitch out first, and can easily be left out if you prefer. And do feel free to use whatever colours you like for both the bird and the flowers

This won’t be to everybody’s taste, but you may be able to find a use for it somewhere. Here  it is, in .pes v.6

  1. Whow I love your designs and will try it out today while the sun is shining in Germany.Have a nice day!!Thank youuuu!!!

  2. The bird is pretty jazzy, must be a boy bird looking for a girl bird. He looks ready to strut. He has a colorful bower already to attract a girl.
    Perhaps he will be lucky. = )
    He is definitely a nice looking bird, you have made him very attractive so he wants the respect he deserves. Sounds like most boy birds.
    I can hear his call already.
    Thanks for such a nice design. I will have fun with it.

  4. Hi Mia, Your pink bird is so majestic and regal, the colorful flowers are the perfect complement.
    Thank you so much for this awesome design.
