A Cardinal Finish!

 My first finish of the year, Mr. Cardinal:

This pattern came from Cross Stitch Crazy, it was part of a series of birds.  I don't know the year, the issue, or the designer because at some point magazines stopped putting all that on the pages. I love all reds and the bird was backstitched in white, a first for me!  

In the meantime I've been loving all the rain we've been getting in California, it's great stitchy weather! I cued up Inspector Morse and got some more sky done on Age of Dinosuars:

  
More of the black outlining on Aliens:


Some of the corner on Autumn Meditation:


more of the top of Harvest Blessings:


and I got to the bottom of Zinnias:

Lots of lovely stitching to see here. I especially love your cardinal. He looks stunning on the dark blue fabric.
Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful work.

Beautiful cardinal but such a shame they don’t credit the designer so you can seek out more of their work.
