This is so fun. I put in some special touches, the eyelets for the brown and gold flowers and the satin stitching on the wings. The effect on the wings was not what I planned but I still like it. It looks like shingles and while I would be happier with a more defined checkerboard shape, overall I do like the look so I&#8217;m leaving it as is. You can see I have a few little sections to finish up:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/img_5409.jpg?ssl=1\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/img_5409.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/img_5409.jpg?w=4032&amp;ssl=1 4032w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/img_5409.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/img_5409.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/img_5409.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/img_5409.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/img_5409.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/img_5409.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI was going to make a pin pillow like the model shows and did even buy the chenille. But this would be kind of a big pin pillow. I think it is better framed, so that&#8217;s my plan. Then, in the future, someday, I will do it again but tiny, when I have learned to stitch itsy bitsy on 52\/60 ct and then I will make the world&#8217;s cutest birdies pillow!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My July &#8220;Smalls&#8221; were more like &#8220;Mediums&#8221; for me.
