Independent craft blog since 2007
Connie G. Barwick, editor of About.com’s cross-stitch blog, is sharing her original pattern for this sweet birdhouse, complete with a bluebird. Connie says,
The free Birdhouse and Flower Cross Stitch pattern reflects my love of birdwatching. Stitch it up for a bookmark for yourself or a friend who is into watching birds.
