The Stitching Journey
This design is lovely to stitch in sections — many stitchers enjoy starting with one bird at a time, then building the pine branches and snowy areas around them. The background and snow can feel wonderfully steady and calming, while the feather shading gives you satisfying progress and a beautiful finish.
If you prefer, you can leave the backstitch until the very end, adding it like a final “polish” to bring out the crisp details once all the main stitching is complete.
