the hummingbird ...



This beautiful design is from 'My Fanny Design' on Facebook - it was offered as a free design as part of 
#bewellandstitch  - many beautiful designs have been offered by many designers.
Accompanying this chart was the following story:


 It is said that one day a devastating fire broke out in the forest and all the animals escaped.
Suddenly the lion, king of the forest, saw a small hummingbird flying right in the direction of the fire. So worried, he tried to stop the bird to change direction, but the hummingbird replied he was going to put out the fire.
The lion, amazed, replied that it was impossible to put out the fire with the drop of water carrying in its beak.
So the hummingbird, increasingly decisive, paraphrased to the king of the forest:
I do my part, and that makes the difference. ''...




And so we, too,  all need to do our part and make a difference.

What a beautiful hummingbird stitch, Kate! Each of us are doing our part to put out the fire just like the hummingbird. Thank you for sharing that, Kate!

That is a lovely design. I have seen quite a few nice ones from that designer, including a little Quarantine House in a glass dome.
The story about the Hummingbird is a lovely one, every little helps!

I love the little story about the hummingbird. And your pretty stitching too, of course.
