Greetings friends......
In keeping with tradition and my love for all things red, I stitched the design Blackbird by Blackbird Designs while on my break from work this past week..... Yes, Blackbird became Redbird.... And, I omitted the border, along with stitching a small leaf vine under the tree....A simple leaf vine I made up by mimicking the leaves in the tree.... Simply said, I made it my own~
I thought the DMC 3777 on 36 count Buttercreme linen would be a nice combo.....
Using one thread over 2 made the design just enough pop.....
And I added a few newly made and very fragrant cinnamon pins....
Looking forward to returning to my craftroom tomorrow.... Picking up where I left off with finishing some of your fantastic stitches.... Thanks for your patience in allowing me the pause... I certainly was able to recharge~
Take time to enjoy the journey~
Always,
Faye

Your cinnamon pins are so cute! They must smell delightful. The changes you made to Redbird are nice ones and I really love the finish.
Love all the changes you made...this is a very nice piece. Lovely work.
As always, you hit it out of the ballpark with this project and the pins! I am always excited when I see I have a new post from you. Your photos and detail are always great, and I love your ideas. Thanks so much for sharing your talent!

I love your finish with the gorgeous red thread change! I've never seen this pattern before. Is it in one of the larger Blackbird Designs' books?
