Why stop at making a nest? There's plenty a motivated bird can do when they set their mind to it. After watching the derby's for a couple of weeks it's good to get a first sub out.

And wonderful first sub. Now that I've seen what you can do, I want to see more! Those colors are lovely, the shirt choice fits, and the idea is fresh and imaginative. Yes, definitely sub more designs!

I agree. This entry really stands out from the others to me.

I really like this! The contrast between the realism of the bird and the stitching is eye-catching and fun.

I guess this is a European rather than American Robin.

Thanks paigeg, stingray69 and Laureenmt for the positive feedback. I was concerned it wasn't the best thumbnail to represent the piece and thought it might be overlooked. Glad you found it.

I'm Australian, so the difference eludes me. I suspect European Robin's are more proficient in needlework.

Interesting idea.
