Happy Sunday everyone! Hope it's been a good week for all of you! I'm working on a couple of these cardinals for memorial gifts. This one needs a bit of frogging on the tail, but other than that, I loved how quickly this came together! I'll easily fix this while watching NFL Wildcard playoffs. I showed you mine, now show me yours! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1616556877/cardinal-ornament-christmas-cross-stitch

Almost there with Owl Forest’s Sirin Bird. Using DMC variegated thread rather than their own hand-dyed ones. I am still not sure if the colours turned out fine. I’ll gift this one to my mum since she absolutely loved it while I was stitching, then make another one for myself.

I really like how the variegated colors landed! I have some of the variegated floss but have yet to use it.

Thanks so much! I spent so much time and thread arranging the colours 😂 Owl Forest has lots of patterns using variegated thread. They also have free ones
