I couldn't help myself, I was going to stitch the cardinal slow, while stitching the branches, but.....that didn't happen
The fun part is over now and it didn't last very long.
I took a break from it today, stitched and finished this
The design is from The Blackbirds booklet, Honeysuckle Manor.
This was the before
Big difference, huh??!! at least the pincushion anyway
Good night! Good stitching!!

Everything looks great--I adore cardinals and that one is just gorgeous!
Beautiful stitching. Congrats. Love also your spool cabinet.
And you're right, silks are addictive. I got drawn into silks too.
I love what you did with the pincushion! just wonderful! Love your cardinal too. I don't like belle soie. I'll use it if I have to though.
Beautiful cardinal! I have never tried those silks, maybe I should.
Both projects are wonderful!!
Oh wow, you were keeping your needles smoking. I love this cardinal and it's also on my to-do list.
Everything is just lovely! Beautiful bbd finish too. I made that design into a needle magnet. X
What a gorgeous pincushion. The cardinal is beautiful too, great going.
I'd love to stitch with Belle Soie but here in the U.K. it is sooooo expensive that I just stick to cotton threads. Your stitching is lovely Ranae.
Your cardinal looks great!
You changed a lot.. lovely job on your second project
I love Belle Soie, too! The bird is so pretty. Cardinals are my favorite bird so this sampler is one of my favorites. Love your finishing!
