Bird cross stitch patterns: a robin, a pair of bluebirds, a hummingbird

Bird charts are stitched by people who watch the garden feeder, for a hoop, a card or a sampler. This pack has three subjects: a robin on holly, two bluebirds on a branch, and a hummingbird at a pink flower. Each comes as a classic counted chart, an antique sampler inside a stitched border, and a bold modern version. Type another bird or setting, such as a wren or winter snow, and the same styles carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What are the nine pictures?

Three bird subjects, each in three styles: a robin on a holly branch, two bluebirds and a hummingbird at a flower, as classic charts, antique samplers and bold modern charts.

What is the difference between the three styles?

The classic chart uses small X stitches on a visible grid in eight to twelve thread colours. The antique sampler uses muted thread colours inside a stitched border. The bold modern version uses saturated flat colours and simplified shapes.

Are these photographs of birds?

No. Each picture is a drawn chart on a counting grid, not a photograph.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
