CROSS STITCH PATTERN DESIGNED BY Barbara Ana Designs
Here's A bird in hand, a cross stitch pattern by Barbara Ana Designs illustrating the lovely proverb:
"a bird in hand is worth two in a bush".
The design is particularly elegant, with the simple, stylized shapes of the gloved hand and the frail bird forming a frame for the text.
The piece was stitched on cream linen and given an antique feel using a natural walnut-based staining technique.
