Luan B. Callery Blue Bird - a Stumpwork Embroidery

This little blue bird sits upon a branch worked in whipped outline stitch with Appleton wool along the outer lines and the inner portion is left void. The wired leaves stitched with cotton floss flutter in the breeze. The fat little bird is first padded to give him the dimensional breast and head of the blue bird and is stitched with Appleton wool. The wings and tail feathers are worked in outline stitch.

Complete stitch diagrams and detailed instructions for each step are provided in this complete kit or chart pak to stitch the 3” x 11” design on oatmeal linen twill.

If you have never done stumpwork before, here is a small sophisticated design with which to begin a new technique.

If the complete instructions are all you need, The Blue Bird is available as a chart pak only.
