Funky Folk Art Bird (Ellen Giggenbach, Ruth Schmuff and Laura Taylor)

Laura Taylor just announced on Facebook she's finished the stitch guide for Ellen Giggenbach's funky bird.  The canvas is available through Ruth Schmuff at Bedecked and Beaddazzled and I imagine they will have the stitch guide shortly.  Laura is still finalizing that.
