The Exemplary 2023:
Honorable Mention, Professional Non-Original without Instruction

I stitched this in 2020 after taking a bird-themed class from John Waddell in 2019. The stitches were my idea. The cherry is a satin stitch using Flair over a half round button. Subtle fabric was placed behind the open stitched background. (Designer: Vicki Sawyer)
