I thought I had done a larger post for my previous embroider kit completion… guess not! It was briefly highlighted on this quarter recap though. I bought a kit with three designs many years ago, started two about the same time, and took a VERY long break (years). I finally sat down to finish the flowers and cat one, and now onto the birds! The leaves and branches were mostly done, but the flowers and birds took around five months to finish up, mostly since I primarily only worked on it during a monthly meetup. Could have been a bit faster but no rush here. I like seeing project progression pics, so that is what this post will be. 😁

bird embroidery kit - leaves Ease on in starting with leaves

bird embroidery kit - starting branches Adding more texture with some branches

Swear I had some more snapshots between the leaves and adding flowers! Probably sped through since I wasn’t a huge fan of the pink thread colors at first. They didn’t quite match the picture reference (the kit warned me!). Overall, it worked out though.

bird embroidery kit - flowers Pink flowers galore!

bird embroidery kit - birds Starting in on the birds with my favorite blue color!

bird embroidery kit - complete Birds done, flower stems done, and fresh off the hoop

bird embroidery kit - on wall Kit plastic hoop replaced and seeing how it looks on the wall. Eventually the tri-kit will be placed together

Taking a little break for the next, and last, one. It’s alllllll flowers. Larger at least. Then the trifecta will be done!
