vintage crewel kit: hummingbird 3

still kicking it with crewel.

i had hoped to blast through all the boring parts of this design in one shot, so i could get to the bird next. 2 leaves and the main branch were all i could get through. the stitches were repeats of the previous leaves, but honestly, i can still use the practice.

laidwork stitch:

stem stitch:

now to get those last 2 pesky leaves out of the way. i can't wait to stitch up this bird!
