Hello lovely readers, I hope you are all well. I have an update on Bird Seed from Just Cross Stitch today. I only managed a few hours on this since the last post, but it is growing nice and quickly so I am happy with my progress. I completed the sign, which will have the words 'Bird Seed' backstitched on it, the second plant and bird.

I did make a slight counting error when stitching the sign, however it doesn't effect any of the other features and still looks like it should, so I decided to leave it as it is rather than frog it. The top set of lines has more rows of stitches than it should, if you look really hard you will probably spot it.

There isn't very much left on this, just the third bird, some of the ground and a slight border. Then just a small amount of backstitching and it will be added to the others awaiting finishing. I honestly thought that this project would take longer than it has. So far I have only spent a couple of days at it and only have a few hours left to finish it off. I had thought it would be about as complicated as my Blossoming Spring project, but thankfully is much simpler, so I don't feel as bad about starting it when I had others on the go.
If you haven't seen Blossoming Spring, check out the post of my progress here:

Hopefully I will get a chance to stitch on Bird Seed and have a finish to show you all very soon. What is everyone else working on at the moment? Let me know in the comments below.
very pretty, love the design and colors
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. It's great to hear you like the colours as I wasn't sure how the DMC would work. I think they look really well though, so I'm very happy with it.
DeleteIt looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. This is very nearly finished so I should have another update on it soon.
DeleteWonderful! I'm glad it's stitching up so well for you and I don't see an "error", just a modification. :) I'm getting close to another finish on Homeward Trail and I can't wait. It's a UFO from early 2012.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. Great to hear you are close to finishing one of those pesky UFO's. I discovered a couple more unintended 'modifications' on this piece during my latest stitching, will give the details when I post the finish.
DeleteLovely update!
ReplyDeleteNo idea which fabric you're stitching on, but it is absolutely gorgeous and is fit perfectly with the design :)
Thanks so much for your comment. The fabric is Rainforest by Sparklies. I adore the fabric but I wasn't sure that it worked with this particular piece so I delighted to read your comment about it.
DeleteCute! I am doing a mystery SAL and a Christmas ornament too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. I have to admit I have never done a mystery SAL. I must pluck up the courage to try one some day as they seem like lots of fun.
DeleteLovely work! Its nice to do a quick finish sometimes, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. It is so wonderful to get a nice finish in between all the larger projects. Nice to hear I'm not the only one who enjoys the quick projects.
DeleteIt's looking good, especially on the fabric which matches the design perfectly. Fingers crossed for a finish soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on Owls In Love, as you know. Different birds but on similar-shaded fabric. T-wit-t-woo! :)
Thanks so much for your comment. Delighted to hear that you think the fabric works with this piece, I wasn't too sure. I love your owl piece, it is just one of those projects that when you see it all the pieces look fantastic together.
DeleteVery cute design and you have made great progress.

Thanks so much for your comment Linda. I should have this finished very soon, so keep an eye out for a finish post :)
DeleteIt's looking wonderful! At the moment I am stitch on Row Of Cats by Bothy Threads and I have just pulled out one of my HAED wips!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. I am enjoying seeing your Row of Cats come together. I haven't worked on any of my HAED WIP's recently. Though I was looking through my charts the other day and had to suppress the urge to start another one :O
DeleteIt looks great even with out frogging. Good choice!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. I would have had to frog the whole top part of the sign to fix the error and I didn't think it looked wrong so I decided to just leave it the way it was.
DeleteIt's so neat and pretty. I don't see anything wrong with it so you made the right thing not to frog, Love the fabric you used, makes this design so lovely! Looking forward to see it finished as well as you Blossoming spring update:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. I have managed more on this piece and will have an update soon, however Blossoming Spring hasn't seen the light of day since my last post on it.
DeleteGreat progress! Can honestly say that nothing looks awry with the sign :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. I made one or two more counting errors on this piece but as they aren't noticeable I have just worked around the. More on that in my update.
DeleteCute little one.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. I am so delighted that I choose this piece as I too think it does look really cute.
DeleteLovely stitching! I adore Bent Creek designs. Can't wait to see your progress on this! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment. This is my first Bent Creek but I definitely think that I will be doing more of these as this is just such fun.
DeleteIt looks perfect to me! Another vote for that fabric as well, it's beautiful and really sets off your stitching.
ReplyDeleteI'm finishing up a Halloween stitch tonight and then I can't decide what to pull out next!
Thanks s much for your comment Justine and your vote on the fabric. It's strange I had a project in mind for this fabric but I thought it would work better for this piece instead.
DeleteThis is just so pretty. Love the fabric too.
ReplyDeleteI'm stitching on my robin this weekend. I hope to get lot done!
Thanks so much for your comment. I look forward to seeing your robin progress.
