The purpose of this behavior is to get the nesting material in a position that’s comfortable to them and that will also keep their eggs (and any others’ eggs sitting in the nest box) beneath their bodies in the ideal position for incubation.They exhibit this behavior while laying eggs even if they have no intention of incubating the eggs. They also tend to scratch around in the coop nest boxes before laying an egg. Some of them will get up several times during the laying process to scratch the bedding around some more. For needles, you’ll want crewel embroidery needles in whatever size works well with the thread you choose, and you’ll also want a tapestry needle that will fit any of the threads you’ll use for the lacing stitches.

Then, I worked the yellow foundation stitches that form the centers of the flowers. These are worked in double cross stitch, too. Working the Lacing Stitches When dealing with a smoother wave, it's often better to start with a smooth line, and then build individual "bumps" onto it. We'll use this quite a bit in Lesson 3, when we draw the wavy edge detail on leaves.The reason is simple: we can generally execute pretty smooth marks now, by simply changing the way in which we approach the task. If we draw as confidently as we can, without concern for where we want the line to fall, our marks will always come out smoothly - just not accurately.

Bring your needle up slightly under and next to one corner of the foundation stitch on any corner of the white square. The white lacing stitches are made in the same way as the flowers, following the path to each anchor stitch, as indicated in the pattern. Beginners often prioritize accuracy first, thinking that it's more important that their lines reach their intended points - but this is incorrect. The most important thing you need to focus on first is keeping your marks smooth and consistent. The birds do this so that the nesting material is at a convenient height for them, and so that their eggs (and any other eggs in the nest box) will be in a position for incubation directly beneath their bodies. Even if they have no intention of caring for the eggs after they are laid, this behavior persists.

The Apron

Pass underneath the corners of the foundation stitches that hold the petal in shape. In the pattern, you can see where these corners are, because the petal element just touches them in the pattern. First, I started with the lower corner area and worked the outline foundation double cross stitches around that small corner (highlighted in the photo above), followed by the inside foundation cross stitches.

They’re most likely scratching for little insects, bugs, and other morsels. Or, they’re creating a dust bath, a nest, and the other things I explained above. They will also use their beaks on occasion, however, but this doesn’t always mean they are just trying to loosen up the surface and dig. This domain of this cookie is owned by agkn.

So I work all the foundation stitches and all the lacing stitches that fit inside the hoop area, before moving the hoop to work another area. Bring the needle to the front just to the side of the corner of the yellow foundation stitch where the inside tip of the petal should be. If you are interested in receiving extra help, I critique the work of those who support Drawabox on Patreon. Here, you can see that the two perpendicular sides of the triangle are complete cross stitches, made on the return journey, while the hypotenuse is crossed on every other stitch. The green arrow indicates where I started the return journey, to cross over the stitches and turn them into cross stitches.

Pass the needle and thread under the three anchor stitch corners that will hold the square shape in place, and then take the needle down into the fabric underneath the first anchor stitch, where you first emerged to make the square. You shouldn’t try to discourage it, honestly. They need to forage, need their dust baths, and need to be happy doing what comes naturally to them.
