Beautiful Bird ALL FINISHED 5th October

Post by claire81 »

I am so looking forward to starting a new project this is much smaller and am going to use a hoop for a change and I can relax rather than being stooped over. I love the colour on the Aida it makes a nice change. This kit has couching and cording something which I haven't done before so watch this space for help

I did this piece several years ago, so feel free to poke me if you get stuck. The cording and couching was pretty simple, but used a lot of floss. but the effect was very much worth it.

Gorgeous project.
And I agree, the aida color looks like it'll do very nicely with the threads.

I have this one in my stash as well, and would love to do it, so will be watching this with interest! I've had an issue with dimension golds way of doing the chart but I have loads in my stash I'm dying to do so must try and come to terms with them!

The colors in that project are lovely and I enjoyed working with them. You are making great progress as well as making me want to work on another peacock project.

Wow! great progress! You are getting through this much faster than I did, though I was likely a much slower stitcher at the time I worked on it.
