With all the little details accounted for, the Massachusetts postcard is ready for the finisher!
The turkey combined two shades of Felicity's Garden in an ancroaching Gobelin stitch for the body and three shades of heathery Burmilana in a long/short stitch for the feathers.
The roof and outline for the barn were worked in tent stitch with DMC #5 perle cotton. The side and door were formed with slanted Gobelin stitches, the front in a diagonal oblong cross stitch, and the window in a Scotch stitch variation--all with DMC cotton floss.
The flowers at the corner of the frame were worked in satin stitches with Vineyard Silk Classic Bright White, with Burmilana leaves and French knot centers using DMC floss.
I particularly like the colors in this postcard for the "colonial" feel they convey!
