Intro
Bring cheerful farmhouse character to your projects with a colorful folk-art rooster surrounded by leafy branches and small red flowers. Layered fill stitches, sculpted satin details, and sweeping feather shapes give the design a lively handcrafted look.
Designer’s Note
The artwork shows a proud rooster with a red comb, golden beak and legs, multicolored body feathers, long green tail plumes, and a curved botanical branch decorated with flowers. Directional fill stitches shape the body and foliage, while satin stitching, crisp outlines, 12 sequenced stops, and carefully placed color changes define the feathers, leaves, facial details, and floral accents. Deep red, orange, brown, green, gray, white, and golden tones create a warm folk-inspired palette with rustic country charm.
