It’s been far too long since I’ve posted and I really do owe an apology to regular readers. And even now I’m still not quite finished with preparations for the big NEOS exhibition next week, but I thought I’d at least better post a freebie so people don’t forget me!
This is one from the files – a bright Pennsylvania Dutch inspired design of two birds. It’s for the 5x7 inch (130 x 180 mm) hoop and it’s just embroidery – no applique in this one. The are a few jumps – it’s impossible to avoid them entirely when you have duplicate motifs that aren’t connected. But I hope this won’t be too much of a problem for you
Two bright birds in a Pennsylvania Dutch style
I’ll be back in a couple of weeks with some pictures from the exhibition so you can see what it was like. Meanwhile, here is the design (in .pes v.6) and here is the worksheet
Hi Mia, thank you so much for the spectacular 2 birds in a Pennsylvania style of artwork. I love the bright colors and the backdrop of the tree is perfect. I will look forward to your pictures and hope you sell all of the embroidery items that you created for the NEOS Exphibition.

Very unique birds and the "tree" where they are perched. I also want to say I love...love the quilt for the young child. It is so unique and they will love it. Really like the mushrooms, as this year we have been so wet in August we have had some very unusual mushrooms in our backyard. Thanks for all your work and the freebies that you share.
