I'm sure they will love looking at it each day.

That is so darking. GREAT JOB!

The wall hanging is adorable.

That is so cute. Great job.

God bless you for sharing your gifts, what machine stitch did you use around the birdies? CUTE!

so sweet

Thanks. The bird hanging was machine appliqued. I used Renee's designs so the decorative stitch you see is the stitch she digitized. Her design collection is called "Holiday Birdies" and is available at www.embroiderygarden.com

Most embroidery machine applique designs are digitized with a satin stitch on the outer edges. The Holiday Birdies have such a pretty decorative stitch that make them extra special.

I encourage any one to give machine applique a try. If you have an embroidery machine, it is particularly easy, but even with a sewing machine you can get wonderful results. I have done both. With my sewing machine I have used the blanket stitch with good results, but now that you mention decorative stitching, I need to experiment with some of my built-in stitches. I would think that any of the decorative stitches that stitch forward (not backwards and forward) would work. Thank you for the idea.

Love those birdies ~ just adorable as can be!! :thumbup:

Sew cute.

That is such an adorable and cheerful wallhanging :D:D:D
