Banded Wrens cross stitch pattern
Counted cross stitch pattern of two Banded Wrens (or Splendid Fairywren, Malurus splendens). The male is a small, long-tailed and bright blue Australian native bird. Inspired by an Elizabeth Gould illustration.
Found across much of Australia, these birds live in arid and semi-arid areas. The Banded Wren’s range extends from New South Wales to the Western Australia coast.
A fun and challenging modern bird cross stitch pattern. It will take a little time to create, but is worth the wait once you have a beautiful piece that you’ve created by hand. Recommended for beginners, this easy wren cross-stitch chart uses only whole cross stitches.
This large embroidery design is a perfect gift for a bird lover. Great for Elizabeth Gould admirers, wren fanciers, or crafters who love to dive into new projects.
