Birds in Trees

This design was taken from a 1960s stamped for embroidery dresser scarf. A pair of birds—one in flight and one perched on a branch—surrounded by flowers (apple or cherry blossoms, I think). The original scarf measured 00" x 00" and the design was printed on both ends. We don't have much use for dresser scarves these days but the design would be perfect for a pillowtop, an apron, or a tea towel.
Design uses a combination of straight and outline stitches with a few French knots in the flowers, lazy daisy leaves, and satin stitch for the bird eyes.
This is a two-sheet pattern (8.5" x 11") so you can combine both sections or use them separately. I'm also including a copy of the original instructions (in both French and English) detailing the colors used (O.N.T. 6-strand cotton but with color names as well as numbers so you can approximate with current embroidery floss colors). All will arrive packaged in a resealable plastic sleeve with a basic embroidery stitch guide included. These are not iron-on patterns—you will need to trace them yourself.
