About the Eastern Bluebird cross stitch pattern
A bluebird with a yellow chest stands facing left in this design for spring home decorating. The bird features a black beak and black legs.
The design
The head, back, and tail use blocks of blue. The chest displays yellow transitioning into a cream belly. Black backstitch lines outline the feathers, eye, and legs. The piece is shown framed on antique white Aida.
Stitching it
This intermediate pattern uses full cross stitches and backstitch. The chart requires 9 DMC colours. An 8-inch hoop fits the size.
Finishing it
The completed project works displayed as framed seasonal wall art, a handmade greeting card, or in a wooden embroidery hoop. It makes a suitable Mother's Day gift for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.
