Blackbird's Reproductions

Thank you so much to Sue for the invite to join this fun group of stitchers, devoted fans of such wonderful designs. I am sure that I'm like a lot of you, with some samplers already stitched and plans for loads and loads more! And now the stockings, and the smalls... Barb and Alma are so talented!

I think my absolute most favorite BBD of all, though, is Birds of a Feather. Needlepoint Inc Silks are my favorite fiber to work with, I love red, I love to stitch birds... it was just a fun, enjoyable stitch. I used the suggested NPI silks on 32 ct Olde Town Blend for my Birds of a Feather:

Take care, everybody! Siobhan
