Sometimes that's the best option.
Looking forward to seeing Hengest again

(yes! I know he's a Unicorn but .....!

Hengest would be nice to see again.

Bonus projects for my course students as some of them are getting on much more quickly than I'd expected

- and my own version of it which I did some time ago.

That is what I would call a beautiful bonus!

I loved that Red Robin when I saw him on your site.
I haven't stitched it because when I printed it off it came out more that Life Size!!

I shall have to try again!

I just realised I gave the pattern only as a download - usually I make it part of a sheet so it prints at the right size

- I will go and do that now, and let you know when it's up!

Wendy (and anyone else who would like to have a go at the robin), I've changed the download so it is now a sheet with the robin in two usable sizes - hope that helps! You can find him here.

Lucky students to be learning from you.

That is a lovely design for budding stitchers to learn with

Thank You!! I'm printing him off

Having a bit of fun with a spare robin - as you can see I'm not going for naturalism

Serinde · Post by **Serinde** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 9:56 am

Fun is also what it's about.

And just because it looks so good, doesn't mean it can't be fun too!

You do have a way of inspiring us to experiment!!

I've downloaded the Robin and had thought of doing his breast in some blackwork....all because you have shown us how to Adapt our designs!!

Thank You!

oooh I'd like to see that Wendy! It would be red blackwork right

?

Serinde · Post by **Serinde** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 2:30 pm

Wendy, I think that's a brilliant idea! (Is that your stitchy bug digging you in the ribs, I wonder?)

Mabel Figworthy · Post by **Mabel Figworthy** » Sat Dec 11, 2021 4:25 pm

Just a little more done on the robin; I'm planning to use a herringbone variation for his body which I learnt for my Canvaswork, but not sure what the effect will be!

rcperryls · Post by **rcperryls** » Sat Dec 11, 2021 4:45 pm

This is going to be beautiful! What stitch is his red breast?

It's battlement couching - I love that stitch, it came in my Jacobean piece as well (but I had to be much more accurate then

) and also in the Tree of Life SAL (that one was much more open).

Thanks Mabel. I should have remembered from the SAL. Amazing, though how different a stitch can look depending on how you configure it.
