Happy Easter Finish

Finish # 6 March 23rd, 2017
Happy Easter from Stoney Creek Magazine Winter 2015 Issue
Fabric 36ct Ivory Evenweave
Threads are suggested DMC other than wording
Changed wording to Carrie's Creation thread called Magenta
Started March 17th. Took 5 days.

I'm so glad I found this fun Easter piece. It was very enjoyable to stitch up. I love the way it turned out. I'm hoping to make it into a decorative pillow with a cute material with Easter eggs or something. 
We have always enjoyed feeding the birds. Sometimes we get new visitors and it's really exciting. For the first time we spotted at pileated woodpecker at our feeder. We saw one once in a tree in our front yard but it never came back. This female has been back several days now and always finds herself a home on our suet feeder. She is HUGE compared to the woodpeckers we normally get. Hope she is going to stick around. Maggee I hope you happen to see this post. I know you are a fellow bird lover.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend and finds some time to stitch.

That certainly is a large woodpecker.

Congrats on your latest finish, this is a lovely Easter finish! I personally prefer your version too.
I only saw a woodpecker once in the wild and was too surprised at how big the bird was.

You stitched that up very quickly! Such a cutie for Easter.
Love your woodpecker! We get blue tits on our bird feeder but that's about it.

Your Easter finish is just gorgeous. I think I have that magazine too and now I might think about stitching this little cutie as well. Thanks for enabling, Katie, lol.
We also have woodpeckers here and they usually come to our feeder during very cold and snowy winters. They are such beautiful birds.

I love your Easter piece! Beautiful work. What a pretty woodpecker. We had one that used to visit us every spring. (He loved waking us early in the morning as he pecked away on the roof of a birdhouse posted on our fence.)

Fabulous pic you captured of the woodpecker, mine hasn't been back since I photographed him :-(
Love the Easter stitch.
