Birds of a Feather. Five free cross stitch patterns inspired by beautiful quilt designs.
Hello happy friends! After a week off due to a dip in mental health (feeling better this week!) I am back with five brand new free cross stitch patterns for you. These are all inspired by some beautiful quilt designs I saw that featured beautiful birds.
I like the geometric nature of these free bird cross stitch patterns which makes them very good beginner cross stitch patterns. I am not a quilter myself per se but I have dabbled in simple blocks for things like coasters and place mats, but the quilts that inspired these cross stitch birds are mini works of art!
The cross stitch bird pattern for today is a cross stitch Kingfisher. This is what I would call a European style kingfisher cross stitch pattern. We had kingfishers where I grew up in Canada but they were blue and white birds (similar colours to blue jays) but much larger than the kingfishers I see where I live in the UK. And much bigger than a blue jay as well.
Also known as the Halycon, the Kingfisher is a long-time symbol of peace and prosperity. It is said the Kingfisher is the promise of abundance, of new warmth, prosperity and love that is about to unfold within your life. Legend has it that the kingfisher was the first bird to fly from Noah's ark after the deluge, supposedly received the orange of the setting sun on its breast and the blue of the sky on its back.
European kingfishers are small shy birds and are very hard to catch a glimpse of. The Canadians are a rather raucous bunch and don't mind being on display. Usually very early in the mornings!
