You may remember I finished the red bird and the blue bird patterns and then they were sitting in the box to be fully finished. Late yesterday afternoon the mail was brought in and Jeff says you have a package. Hmmm... what could it be?!!!
Sweet Mary from Stitching Friends Forever sent some fabric that went with the redbird perfectly. Now, I was so excited that I went right to the sewing/work room and started stitching. I think it is perfect, but my color man, aka husband says I chose a too bright cording. Dang it...he may be right especially in the light this picture provides.

| I may even leave it off. The fabric is a pretty match and might need to be left alone... |
I am going to rest on it today and mull it over. It is only attached at the edges and and can be quickly changed out if I decide it needs to be a more muted blue, BUT
I decided to go ahead and do the stitching post because I also dug around and found something for bluebird too.
I rather like this one a lot.
I had sort of planned to group these over time in a basket, but I am thinking I might like them apart. The pictures you have seen were just plopped on my sewing room shelves yesterday after working on them. I have to go back and glue the cording down now OR change it.
I also finished a favorite verse. It is special to me. Now, I will admit the pattern is way prettier than I chose to do mine. IT is done on a pretty ivory linen with silk threads. I just really wanted to stitch this the other day and so I pulled out some things I had.
I plan to self frame this. It will fit in an 8 X 8 frame which I ordered a cheapo one from Amazon. I think my plan is to paint blue and play up the blue in the stitch. I have some in the garage so it will be an easy do.
I also have been working on my blue jays each evening and a little patriotic stitch every now and then. I have realized I can't do too many stitches at one time. It makes me nervous!!!
That is all for today.
Thanks Mary, you made my day yesterday!
Busy in the house and outside.
Keeping busy helps not to focus on Coronavirus.
