Alister the Parrot
Alister the Parrot is beautiful and compliments Pete the Parrot which I stitched from the book years ago.
The wool colours are tasteful, in true EB style. I would recommend these kits to anyone who loves needlepoint.

Perfection in colors and canvas!
Since 1990 I have owned two Elizabeth Bradley needlepoint books and had finished several projects from them and ogled others, especially the parrot. I haven't done any needlepoint in over 25 years and was thrilled with Alister the Parrot when I opened the box. Although the continental tent stitch and half cross tent stitch were the stitches I had typically used, the Victorian cross stitch is easy to work, especially since the design is perfectly and evenly printed. Gorgeous! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elizabeth Bradley needlepoint kits.

Alister and friend
As always beautiful kits. Excellent service too. Alister and the Toucan are bound for my daughters sofa to remind her of her trip to the Amazon rainforest. Just have to finish kit number10 first!
