Bee Cross Stitch - and a WiP

Jun 30, 2018 19:51

I finished another set of small designs for cards, this time some bees and honey. The two small ones were stitched on 14 count and and the four larger ones on 16 count, because that was all I had that was easily accessible. Most of my fabric is stored in a big old chest that currently has a lot of stuff piled on top it and I didn't feel like moving ( Read more... )

cross stitch, real life, craft

I love the little Queen bee, but they’re all awesome!!!!

Thank you! That one was the hardest to stitch because of all the little flowers, but it's the prettiest. I liked stitching the flower and honeycomb one best.

The next set I'm working on is also a bit fiddly...

Your turn for a fiddly little project, huh? Is that the rose one at the bottom or something more complex?

The honeycomb one looks like it would be fun to work with. :-) I think it’s the little smile that really made me laugh and smile with the queen bee.

I think Queenie Bee looks a bit smug, lol!

Well, the rose is certainly fiddly, but I'm also doing another set of four designs for cards that have a lot of colours with only a few stitches in each one in places, which means frequent changes of thread... At least the bee ones had some large blocks of colour.

I have a whole stack of magazines with designs I'm itching to stitch. I wish I hadn't picked this set now =(

You don't need luck; you can do it!

With good light, and possibly a magnifying glass... I completed the second half of the cross stitch border yesterday, so I'm making progress.

Best of luck on your current project, dear friend, and the bees and honey are adorable!

Thank you! I love bees so I had to stitch these.

I've done the next part of the rose border, but I'm also working on a set of four floral cards. Almost finished the first one, but they're really fiddly and it's taken me almost twice as long as the magazine's estimate. >.
