Birdie Garden (Arlene Steinberg)

Arlene Steinberg has just posted a free stitch guide for download for her popular "Birdie Garden."

https://bedeckedandbeadazzled.com/product/birdie-garden/

The canvas and guide are only available through Bedecked and Beadazzled, Arlene's distributor.  The cover of the guide has a photo of the finished design, which is very nice.  You can see what it will look like if you follow Arlene's footsteps exactly.  But you don't have to.  Arlene wants you to have fun with this cutie.  By the way, her Sky Stitch is amazing and useful on many backgrounds.  Check it out.
