I went back to those old cushions and had another look at the birds.
The wool have been attacked by moths in places but I think that they would look good embroidered on a tote bag. Not in wool but a thick cotton. So I've drawn them out and intend to try stitching up a sample. I have also drawn out the design which is available as a free download. Download Woolen stitched birds

They're enchanting! I'm looking forward to seeing your versions.

The different stitch patterns give the birds a nice pizazz.

I hope they stitch up the same way.
