Tranquility by Jan Hicks Creates is the first in a series and was designed for a SAL with Helen D. of Cobweb Corner. The SAL starts on June 13th. The bird is in deep shades of turquoise and aqua with pale motifs. Stitch Count: 80 x 79.

I chose to use 16ct Mercedes aida by Picture This Plus and a combination of fancy floss and DMC.

The stitching is finished so now I need to decide how to finish it. Perhaps a small pillow or mounted onto a wooden board.
I decided to finish this one as a small pillow. The backing fabric is from my quilting friend and the trim is ruched ribbon following Vonna Pfieffer’s excellent tutorial.


What a lovely design for a SAL! I look forward to seeing your progress on this one, Pat!
