I just LOVE to stitch birds! I am excited to share some of my favorites again with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How about this very old one, Wise Old Owl from Raise the Roof? This was stitched before I started blogging and I&#8217;m not sure I ever shared it! I think this was the first thing I ever stitched with overdyed floss on linen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/img_4935-scaled-e1613926731126.jpg?resize=640%2C853&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3925\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While I&#8217;m sharing owls, here are 2 more from Just Nan, Oakley Owlet and Mr. Nutley Owl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_4175.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3526\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another from long ago, with an owl and other birds is For the Birds from The Drawn Thread. I still love this one so much. And that CAT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"657\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/img_4932-scaled-e1613926210914.jpg?resize=640%2C657&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3922\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Another of my favorite framed pieces featuring birds is this Plum Street Friendship Fraktur. It is readily available now, but when it came out it was a club piece and I had to be eagle-eyed and quick to snag a kit. I&#8217;m not sure I ever shared the framed version on the blog, but I was really pleased with the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"549\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/img_4933.jpg?resize=640%2C549&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3924\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course many of my smalls have birds, of all colors too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"820\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/img_4934.jpg?resize=640%2C820&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3923\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As I went around my house I found birds on a lot of other things I&#8217;ve stitched. Here are some really cute ones on Autumn Quakers from Rosewood Manor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/img_4936.jpg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3926\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course on the Pink Sparrow Sampler from Brenda Gervais:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"386\" height=\"220\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pink-sparrow-framed-scaled-e1610399236998.jpg?resize=386%2C220&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3840\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And I didn&#8217;t take pictures of all of the little birds on my Just Nans and Drawn Thread samplers but there are probably a dozen more on those!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think birds are just one of my favorite things to stitch. And looking through my stash drawer I see I have many more birds in my future as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to see more stitched birds, head over to our lovely hostess&#8217;s blog, <a href=\"https:\/\/serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com\/2021\/02\/the-people-chose-birds.html\">Serendipitous Stitching<\/a>, to see everyone&#8217;s People&#8217;s Choice this month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a People&#8217;s Choice theme for which I have a lot to share!
