Welcome to the weekly hand stitching celebration! If you enjoy creating hand made projects with needles and threads, you have come to the right place!
Instead of the recommended 2 strands, I used only 1 for the green embroidery because there was so much of it, and it just took over the design. But wow the overall effect is just stunning and totally worth all the time, counting, and effort. I just can't believe I stitched something so complicated!
I am excited to start the next feat/step and it will be the romantic birds with some quite interesting mating rituals! That should be fun!
What are you hand stitching this week? We love to see your projects, so please link up your blog post below.

This bird is very pretty! I imagine keeping your place on the chart can be confusing, happy stitching!
That is an amazing stitchery! Well done!
Wow! That peacock is amazing! Seriously, AMAzing! It's a bummer that the backstitches are covering all the different colours of cross stitches underneath, all that counting and changing thread, just be covered, but like you said, it was worth it. Congrats! You have every rights to be proud. Enjoy! ;^)
Your peacock is beautiful! All that backstitching was worth the effort. This is such an interesting project.
Kathy, that peacock is amazing! I can definitely why you would want to stitch the green in its tail with just one strand of floss. This is a fabulous project! Enjoy your stitching today!
Wow! That is a lot of intricate stitching!
Thank you for hosting such a wonderful link-up. Wow! The peacock is definitely complicated looking, but you did it! Three cheers!
that peacock is stunning! Good choice on the number of strands - the actual peacock feather barbs are very delicate, and the single strand captures that look.
That bird is stunning! Enjoy stitching on the next one.
This project is a real beauty!
