Bluebird Assisi


It was beautiful in Philly today.  Temps in the
50's and the sun was shining.  With thoughts 
of Spring on my mind.  I  finished stitching 
this today.  I charted it from an antique
pincushion.  This is Assisi cross stitch. It is 
a method where "voiding" is referred to 
the background being filled, while the 
motifs themselves are left blank ... or void.
I'll stuff it with sawdust and finish
it into a pinkeep.  It looks so very
European to me.  
Thanks for taking a look. Hope 
the sun is shining for you too.

  3. Love it! Don't you find that kind of stitching, a little tricky? I always want to fill in the parts I'm supposed to leave blank. Gorgeous color!
