Soaring Pigeon is one of the nature inspired designs by Pigeon Coop Designs. It is available both as a pdf file or a kit which includes everything needed for stitching the design. I chose the pdf because I like to select my own fabric and floss.

I chose a piece of hand dyed 16ct aida in a mottled blue that I had in my stash and used the called for colors with the exception of one which I did not have.

I mounted it on one of the round mini boards and added some blue rick rack and a bow. Simple but I love it. It joins Festive Cardinal and Spring Robin on my “bird wall.”

Oh Pat, I love your bird finish. Actually, I love everything about this piece — the design, the fabric used, the threads, and the paddle finish. Well done!
Beautiful stitching and finishing! LOVE your bird wall!
