I think this was charted with the line "Be virtuous" but I changed it to "bee my love". I liked the pun with all those cute little brass bees and that skep all done in satin stitch.
This piece has those spiderweb roses I love and I was pleased with the way I worked my son's initials into the piece.
I have been stitching on a old UFO BBD piece but it is slow going. I'm just not comfortable working in a hoop and the cast is still cumbersome. I'm keeping my fingers crossed (right hand only) and saying my prayers and taking calcium in hopes that on Thursday this cast comes off. Typing is still slow and I'm constantly hitting the caps lock key AND EVERYTHING COMES OUT LIKE THIS -- ARGHHH!!
Hope you have a great week - happy stitching!

As always, another lovely sampler. You must have the most amazing collection Carol. I like this one particularly as I have a "thing" about bee skeps.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful sampler. Love all the different stitches.
ReplyDeleteI'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you that the cast comes off this week!

I love this sampler. I reaaly miss EEF designs. I have plenty of them in my stash. I just need to stitch them!
ReplyDeleteI hope that everything goes great Thursday and the cast comes off!
You do beautiful work. I haven't ever noticed the spiderweb roses before. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.
