Description

Backyard Favorites, from Cross My Heart.

Designed by Paula Minkebige, © 1986.
Backyard Favorites No. 6 is part of the beloved Crossed Wing Collection series by designer Paula Minkebige, offering four beautifully detailed counted cross stitch designs celebrating common North American backyard birds. The cover showcases finished pieces depicting a Blue Jay pair on an oak branch, a Baltimore Oriole among leaves, a Robin with holly berries, and a Mockingbird perched amid berry-laden branches — all stitched in rich, realistic color palettes. Published in 1986, this black-and-white pattern book is suited to intermediate stitchers and reflects the classic naturalist illustration style that made the Crossed Wing Collection a favorite among bird-loving needleworkers.
