Pattern description
A vibrant blue jay with golden-yellow belly sits confidently on a brown branch, surrounded by fresh green foliage in this 119×119 stitch pattern.

With 21 DMC thread colors creating rich dimension and visual interest, this counted cross stitch project combines warm yellows and oranges with cool blues and natural greens for a balanced, nature-inspired palette.

Its medium difficulty level rewards careful stitching with satisfying results that capture the personality and movement of this beloved garden visitor.
