Bird embroidery suits every season: a robin, a bullfinch or a great tit on a snowy branch for winter, a swallow or a stork for spring, swans and mallards on the water for summer. This collection gathers our bird hand embroidery patterns: garden and forest birds, owls, water birds, polar birds such as penguins, a pet budgie and Scandinavian folk art birds, most of them shown on a branch, among flowers or on the water.
Feathers look most natural in long and short stitch, following the direction the feathers grow, with satin stitch for small solid areas such as a beak. A tiny French knot or a few satin stitches make the eye. If you are new to shading, start with a bird that has large blocks of colour before moving on to a detailed one.
A single bird fits a 4–6 inch hoop and makes a quick gift; a bird with a branch or water around it fills a 7–8 inch hoop. Birds also work well on cushion covers and tote bags. Every paid PDF includes vector line art in several hoop sizes, DMC colour codes, a materials list and a separate Stitch Guide PDF.
