Absolutely beautiful. My DH would love that as he has his very own blue and gold maccaw, she is 32 years old.

Beautiful work! My blue and gold Sam will be 20 years old this year. Do you know who the manufacturer/brand is for your pattern? I'd love to try it tho I haven't done any cross stitching for years.

Pennydrop321 04-30-2012 11:27 AM

It was a kit. I still have the chart. Send me a PM and it's yours.

When I do cross stitch I number the paper chart making a grid up and down. (every dark line on the chart ) Then I count on the fabric by 10. I count the small holes in the fabric and then use a water soluble pen to draw a grid in the fabric. I number the fabric with the same numbers as the paper chart. I can then start anywhere on the fabric rather than the center as the instructions say and with this numbering system I never get lost.

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.

They are really beautiful birds, I love parrots as I have two, an umbrella cockatoo (Allie) which I call mouth of the south and a quaker parrot (Rio) who I tell him no remarks from the peanut gallery. lol He can really talk up a storm. You did a beautiful job on them. Great work. I wish I could do x stitch would love to have one like that but my eyes won't let me.

AuntieD 05-01-2012 12:25 PM

That cross stitch creation is fantastic! I can't imagine how many different colors you used. Good job framing it.

solstice3 05-02-2012 05:16 AM

I admire people that do cross stitch. It is like fingernails on a chalkboard if handed to me to do. beautiful work!!

KLO 05-02-2012 03:57 PM

Beautiful cross stitch!!! Seems like your cat avatar might be thinking that they are gorgeous too. They better keep an eye on him/her. lol

Tweety how long do Macaws live? I 've always wanted one. We have had a lot of cockatiels over the years.

Rhonda 05-06-2012 12:13 PM

That crossstitch is absolutely beautiful! I love birds. You did a great job on this one!!

The work is beautiful I too love to embroider, hence the quilt in mine

Sheila_H 05-06-2012 06:23 PM

You do amazing work I really love the 1st cross stitch picture - when I was working in Guam they used to sit outside of my bedroom window and caw (not what you want to hear at 4am lol) but they sure were pretty to look at.
