The spiritual meaning of turquoise symbolizes wisdom, tranquility, protection, good fortune and loyalty. A person who loves turquoise is a person that is calm, creative, emotionally balanced and spiritually grounded. This is the first in a series of bird designs I have planned, exploring the different colors and their meanings. The model is stitched on 40 ct Blueberry Milkshake linen by Grace Notes Fabric using one strand of the called-for overdyed floss over two linen threads. A DMC conversion is also provided. Alternative fabrics: This design would be lovely stitched on any pale blue, green or even gold/yellow colored-fabric. Pick your favorite color and enjoy!
