Here is the project I did for a woman from my church. She has a love of cockatiels and asked if I could do something for her.
As luck would have it, I won a design set from my Father’s Day article I submitted at this great website and chose this as my prize so I could accommodate her.
I also ran a zig-zag stitch around the rim of her hat with a matching thread. (It’s a little hard to see on the pictures).
You can see the Cockatiels set here.
omg That is tooo cute. Great job!
this is very cute I got this set of designs but have not had the chance to use them yet.

How did Kelley hoop the parakeet? I’m assuming she used a 4×4 hoop – so how did she get it inside the hat? With stabilizer yet? Sure is cute! Can’t wait for the answer so that I can make one.
VERY cute.Hat and girl.
You did a great job on the hat, what a lovely thing for you to do!!!
Love this idea. Could put any design that a person loves. I love birds, butterflies, flowers.
Very cute design and project! I’m sure your friend loved it.
AWESOME!!!! I love the bird and colors Kelley chose. Great job on a personal gift.
To answer Reginas question, I hooped it by laying the bucket hat as flat as possible. The 5×7 hoop slid right inside. I did however have to continually smooth the demin as it stitched because the top of the bucket hat didn’t allow it to truly be straight. Thanks for all the comments!
Thanks, Kelley, for sharing this great project. I especially love your explanation answer to Reginas question.
