Last November Start Finished

Design - "Thankful"
Chart - "Twice Blessed"
Designer - Hands to Work
Fabric - 32 count Jack's Rum linen
Fibers - GAST & WDW - 2 strands over 2 threads
Started - 28 November 2017
Completed - 3 December 2017

Still loving Jack's Rum linen color - so rich and deep.  Also this funky color pallet is striking.  Who has ever seen a white acorn with blue twirls?  Still, it works.

How about a look at some of BBBs - Basic Brown Birds.

A Fox Sparrow

A Golden-crowned Sparrow

Oregon Junco...

Frances at Symphony of Stitches in Mississippi has just started to feed and observe her backyard birds.  This Junco is a good bird for her to look at as 'my' Oregon Junco has very different coloring than...

...the Dark-eyed Junco she observed in Mississippi!

Here's a Song Sparrow.

A Pine Siskin.

And for a touch of color, a Steller's Jay and a blue, blue sky.

The color palette on this really is unusual, but it works--such a cute finish!
