Bring ornamental colour to your stitching with this seated peacock, worked in teal, blue and green with pink and yellow flowers tucked through leafy branches. The layered tail feathers and upright crest give it a poised, decorative look that will appeal to anyone who likes traditional bird motifs with a floral twist. It suits makers who want one statement design rather than a sparse outline, as the stitching is dense and the finish looks full and substantial.
This is a strong choice for the back of a denim jacket, the front of a tote bag, a cushion panel or the centre of a quilt block in a firm woven fabric. With 8 thread colours and plenty of coverage, it has the kind of detail that shows best on stable materials where the feather layers, buds and leaves can stay crisp. The broad size range also makes it easy to use the same peacock as a smaller accent or as the main feature on a larger project.
