My latest WIP is a green-winged amazon done as a memorial for dh's grandmother. She owned parrots all of his life up until she got too sick. She passed away a few weeks before mother's day.

I'm taking pictures of my progress this evening, but this is what it will look like once I'm done. He is being stitched on 14 ct. light blue Aida.

That is a lovely picture very detailed can't wait to see your progress!

Yeah i agree, it's going to look beautiful

Oh that's gorgeous and I bet the bright colours will be lovely to stitch.

Ohhh can't wait to see your progress!!!!

A very nice project. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

I like the bright colors too. I'll bet it will be fun to stitch.

What a pretty project and such a great sentiment. I can't wait to see your progress on it!

Lovely project, cant wait to see ur work in progress.

That will be so special to have, such a nice thought. Can't wait for some pictures.

The parrot's lovely! Can't wait to see it....

He's wonderful, and I think the blue background will really set him off well! (Don't you just love all the pretty coloured fabrics and how they can enhance a design? I think a soft blue is often particularly effective.)

I absolutely love these cuties, have a few ornaments to prove. I love the colours of this project. Colours are what usually draws me to a design-I am definitely looking out for some designs in the future.

Better late than never. Here's my progress on my parrot.

Oh he's coming on great!
I bet you enjoy stitching this one.

It's looking good Lynn. I'd like to work with some nice bright colours - everything I'm doing is very pastel-ly at the moment.

Lovely and colourful!

Lovely so far

Love the bright colors it is summer time we need more bright colors.

Great progress
