Picking Up Fruit
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Barbara Ana Designs

Fall is drawing to a close. Some berries are still hanging from twigs. A little bird has just landed, fragile on his legs, about to feast on the late season bounty.

This beautifully rendered bird portrait, with clear belly and spotted plumage, is crossed stitched in soft honey tones and natural colors. The layout is such that little branches seem to offer the bird their protection.

This cross stitch pattern is simple to stitch, even for a beginner.
