A glimpse of post-war England
The Blue Bird design is a tender reflection of domestic creativity from post-war England. Inspired by a handmade crewelwork pillow, the design features a delicate bird, its forms and textures brought to life through careful, thoughtful stitching. This project invites you to explore both traditional techniques and the expressive joy of creating a piece that feels personal and historical at once.
Our Blue Bird materials pack contains everything needed to stitch this exquisite design, including wools, linen, needles, and beads. The accompanying charts and stitch instructions in Crewelwork Then & Now guide you through the layers of feathers, blending, and detail work that make this design so rewarding.
A peaceful, timeless project
Stitching the Blue Bird is like holding a quiet piece of history in your hands. It’s gentle, elegant, and perfect for anyone who loves combining technical skill with the sheer pleasure of creating beauty.
