Red Santa Red Bird

Fabric - 14 count White Aida
Date Stitched - unknown

Remember back in the 1980's when everything you cross stitched required copious amounts of back-stitch?  I must say the back-stitching does make this Santa Bunny 'pop'.

And the bright red head of this sapsucker makes this bird 'pop' too.

If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you can see the new orange colored sap wells the bird has been busily drilling.

He is at work on this tree most mornings when I bring down the big bird feeder.

Another pop of color - a Steller's Jay!
