My first (of hopefully many, but we’ll see!) free needlework pattern is up and ready to be put on anything you fancy!
Pictured is my version of the twirly birdy, I wanted to add more colour to the outline so double threaded some pink in with black, and I must say it looks pretty good. I also chain stitched the legs to add a bit more bulk. It wasn’t placed onto anything special, just a piece of cotton, but I have a feeling I might sneak the fabric into a quilt some time in the near future, maybe hidden away on a pieced back as a little surprise.

I like how you used the pink and black floss together. I have to try that now. Thanks for sharing your pattern!
