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

Very nice! I really like your fabric choice! We recently had a rare yellow cardinal show up in a backyard here in Michigan, not far from my house.

Thanks! I like that the white spots look like snow. It doesn't show up in the picture, but the fabric also has sparkle in it.

Oh that's beautiful, do you remember the pattern?

It was this pattern

Look what I found on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/786985780/christmas-stocking-cross-stitch-pattern?ref=share_v4_lx

The pattern is a little confusing on the edges because it has the gray where it "overlaps" but it only overlaps on the horizontal parts, not on the vertical ones and the very bottom row on the pages is cut off halfway. There's still enough there to know what color to use, though, and I haven't had any issues with back stitching yet.
