One flower, one bird, two designs
When you first see this new release by Lesley Teare, you might wonder if you have seen this little bird before? Well you have! The existing pattern is the Blackwork design, while the new pattern is the cross stitch version. The flowers have acquired a wonderful blue hue and this time the flowers are fitted in a circular frame of smaller flowers. Now it's yours to choose which of the two patterns you'd like to stitch.
Ornamental symmetry
This sophisticated design features a pair of peacocks and ornamental flower and leaf motifs. There is a beautiful mix of colors including bronze, and various contrasting tones of green, turquoise and blue. The cross stitch chart is designed by Lesley Teare.

A highly decorative piece that will take you some time to stitch, but will sure be worth the effort.
