Birdhouse Garden is the first design featured in Country Cottage's new Spring Social set of 5 designs. She's going to do all 4 seasons, so this is companion to Winter Wonderland, already released. Offered each month, for the next 4, each design includes the necessary Belle Soie Silks by Crescent.

(Those are fun to stitch by making 5 or 6 long stitches in a ray shape, and then weaving back and forth across them � it makes a curvy little shell!) Pretty colors of pastel pinks, aqua, lime green and amethyst!

Designed by Nikki Lehman of Country Cottage Needleworks, this is a wonderful Crescent Colour Thread Pack series of designs that contains Belle Soie Silks. Originally shipped in 5 separate sections, each one contains its chart and 6 yards of hand-dyed silks to stitch it.

Beginning with the blue cottage on the left, each block looks like a little present, with its bow on top! Since this piece doesn't feature a main surrounding border... you can actually stitch just portions (3 of the 5 sections, for instance) if you like it better that way... Pretty, soft colors, very retro!
