First, I was really pleased by the number of people who said they liked the Flower Bellpull in my posting of last week. Several people asked if it was for sale anywhere, so this is just to say that you can find it (along with more of my designs) in my Secrets of Embroidery shop: https://secretsof.com/machine-embroidery/designs/The-Accidental-Embroiderer
Anyway, back to this month’s freebie. It’s spring now (or it’s supposed to be) so here is a little spring-like design to celebrate the season. It’s for the 5×7 inch (130×180 mm) hoop, and it’s embroidery only, with no appliqué.
Two colourful birds for spring
It’s a fairly complex design, but if you hoop your fabric securely and follow the colour suggestions, it should turn out all right
There are a HUGE number of jumps in it, but I’m afraid they’re unavoidable. If your machine can cut jump stitches, there should be no problem, but otherwise I’m afraid you’re in for a long session with the scissors
So – good luck! Here is the design, in .pes v.6
Your newest design will not open for me. I have vip format and pes has worked for me before. Sorry to bother you but could you please send me the design in vip. Thanks a million!
Awesome as always!
Thanks so much,
Barb
The birds are very nice. I will check to see where I can use them. Maybe the back of a jacket if the size works out. I have Embird so I can arrange them to fit. I have not been embroidering a lot lately. I started with some seed beads to create some bracelets and necklaces for the kids and grandkids. I really like all the birds however. I may need them to push me back to sewing a bit. Thanks.

They say that in Spring a young man’s fancy turns to love…looks like that goes for the young birds, too! Sweet. I love the flowers’ arrangement…graceful yet symmetrical, too. Thanks once again for sharing your skills with us – I hope others are joining me in actually paying for it on the Secrets of Embroidery site!
