PRETTY PLUMAGE

“I first stitched a little blue tit as part of thea few years ago. It proved to be a huge success and I turned it into a workshop project. Since then, I have appliquéd many blue tits and finally decided that I should branch out with some other British garden birds. So, for this pillow, I have enlarged the original blue tit pattern and added a bullfinch, with his beautiful bright plumage, and a goldcrest, our smallest garden bird. I tried hard to keep the correct scale of size between the three birds, though I am not sure they would all sit so close together in a tree in real life!”
