November is getting on and I still owe you a freebie for the month. So - here’s yet another bird! Last year I prepared a really big piece for our September exhibition, inspired by the huge flocks of pigeons we see here benefitting from the farmers’ autumn flocks. The farmers may not like them, but I find them really attractive - the birds are beautiful in themselves, and the sheer size of the flocks is just breathtaking. So I did a picture of part of a flock for the exhibition
A flock for the exhibition
Although not everybody would want a big flock of pigeons, I thought that just one bird might be lucky enough to find a home somewhere. So here’s a single pigeon taking off, perhaps looking for his flock-mates
The lonely pigeon
It’s for the 4 x 4 inch (100 x 100 mm) hoop, and it’s embroidery only (no applique). To download it in .pesv6, just click HERE
As you may know, recently some readers have not been able to download these files from the blog. Most people have no problems, but for some others it’s just impossible. So if you are one of those, drop me a line via the “Comments” section of the blog and I’ll send the file to you as an e-mail attachment, which usually works. Good luck!
He won't be lonely if you embroider TWO or more of him. Thank you for this lovely pigeon!!

Oh, wait! I just noticed a typographical error dear! He should be labelled, "a lovely pigeon"-- "lovely" is misspelled in your label. Sorry, I had to try to make you smile a bit.

Hi Mia, I hope that you enjoyed your well earned break. The pigeon won't be lonely if I add some more with it to keep him or her company, I can multiply and manipulate and make a family, by making a little adjustment with my machine. Thank you for another great design. My new sewing room is still a few weeks away from being finished, so it will give me time to play with the design.

I love your pigeon, whether he's lonely or lovely, and can't wait to sew out my own flock! Thank you!!

Hello,
I am not able to download 'The Lonely Pigeon'.
I didn't have a problem with the last 2 designs.
Thank you for all you do!
