For this designer: As the year winds down you can celebrate resilience and new beginnings with a winter phoenix. The chart also includes two optional text blocks - "A Life Born of Fire" and "You Have Seen My Descent, Now Witness My Rising."
Note from the designer: This was inspired by the traditional sampler motif of the "berry bowl" but I've filled my basket with birds and eggs! The bowl itself is more like a woven nest, to continue the theme (and give stitchers a chance to play with variegated floss).
It is a 'Two Ways' design: a single design (chart) with two colorways (color keys). The use of two different fabric colors (as well as different thread colors) gives the design a dramatically different look. Two (gray or beige) birdies are surrounded by colorful wildflowers.
