Add cheerful appliqué to a quilt block or little summer dress with this bird-and-flower design, stitched in purple, white, yellow and green with small touches of orange, black and grey. The bird has a bright eye, neat beak, layered wing and flicked tail feathers, perched beside a flower on a curving vine with fresh leaves. It suits anyone who likes sweet, nature-led motifs without a heavy, crowded look.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it sits well on cotton, linen, gingham and other everyday fabrics where you want colour without too much weight. The 18 thread colours give it definition and warmth, while the appliqué areas keep the bird bold and easy to read from a distance. With sizes from 3" to 10", it can work as a small accent on a pocket or bib, or as a more noticeable feature on a cushion cover, tote bag or the front of a child’s cardigan.
