Painted Buntings

Painted Buntings are a species
of bird in the Cardinal family, and
their brilliant feathers make it
seem as if they've flown straight
out of a child's paint-by-numbers
book. Vivid hues of blue, yellow,
green, and red dress up the birds in the collage below.
Requested by Linda, Painted Buntings
are a gorgeous addition to tote
bags, wall hangings, pillow covers,
and more. |

Sue is a fan of meerkats, and
thought they would make good
subjects for embroidery. Once you
get a glimpse of these cool "kats,"
we think you'll agree! Clever
meerkats have received a lot of
attention in movies over the years,
in everything from The Lion King to
their self-titled "The Meerkats."
Stitch a sketched medley of these
vital animals for a very popular
look. |

Boer Goats

Judy requested Boer goats,
developed in South Africa in the
early 1990's. Their name comes from
the Afrikaans word "boer" which
means farmer. Boer goats are very
healthy, the does take excellent
care of their offspring, and they
are well adapted to hot, dry semi
deserts, making them one of the most
popular breeds of goat in the world. |
