CROSS STITCH PATTERN DESIGNED BY Perrette Samouiloff
Designed by Perrette Samouiloff, this is a delicate cross stitch portrait of our little winter friends, observed on a winter day. The two birds are gathering berries, a little squirrel passing by seems a bit surprised, and a pair of white rabbits face each other as if figuring what to do next.
Framing the stitched piece is a lovely guarland of ivy entangled with blue and white berries. It encases a small alphabet in blue letters which can be cross stitched as it is, or replaced with words of your own to customize your stitched piece. If you like to change your wall hangings with the seasons, why not cross stitch the word "Welcome" and hang your needlework in the hall?
The colors used for this embroidery are from the DMC Color Variations range as well as a DMC variegated floss. They vary delicately with each stitch and add additional hues to your stitching. Lovely hues of pale pink delevelop in the rabbits' fur, and the feathers of the birds contrast several tones of brown.
The pattern involves a couple of fractional stitches, used mainly for the birds beaks, rabbits and squirrel noses as well as the squirrel's tail.
