This new free embroidery pattern titled Spring Songbird is number 7 in our Little Stitchy Embroidery collection, and was inspired by the work of Ande Hall! As you can see in the collage above, her beautiful work centers mostly around birds, and so we were inspired to create this pattern, just in time for spring!
