Air Mail APRIL #12 Dodo Cross Stitch Pattern.  What better way to wrap up the Air Mail series than with this adorable, famously too friendly bird?  What I wouldn't give to be able to genetically bring them back to life!  

About the series:  The Air Mail series was released throughout 2023 and 2024 with this final pattern wrapping it up.  The entire series will feature a bird stamp of the same dimensions.
