The People Chose ๐Ÿ


Here's to the perfect end of the summer with Jo @ Serendipitous Stitchingand this time we're celebrating BEES๐Ÿ!


An oldie, but a goodie - Cottage Garden Sampling, My Garden Journal. I just wished I had stitched it smaller.


And here's this little cutie from The Snowflower Diaries, Joyful World. The series is still out there as a freebie if you're interested.



I made this for my Momma, it came from Hobby Lobby.


After the last one, I got stung by the bee and got this one to stitch from Little House Needleworks.


Then I saw this one from Hinzeit and had to get it! I changed the banner colour, I thought the original was too bland for my liking.


And thanks to Jo stitching this one, Gathering Honey, I started it but have yet to finish. I haven't made it to be bees yet, but the hive is there, they must still be inside!


This is another one I still need to finish, Celebrate Summer by The Sweetheart Tree.


Here's one I have, but haven't started yet.


These are Nora Corbett's Miss Honey Bee and Miss Queen Bee, they were model stitched by Melanie the WIP Slayer. Aren't they gorgeous?! I can't decide which one I'd rather stitch... or maybe both? I'm thinking of using the honeycomb fabric when I do.


Finally, some words to remember...




So buzz on over to see Jo and the other blogs if you haven't already.
Next month - cats! Although I know I have more cat photos than stitched pieces.

Well, as you know, thanks to you, I will be stitching that beautiful Cottage Garden Sampling, My Garden Journal pattern! I stitched the Joyful World one. You made so much progress on Gathering Honey Astrid! It looks great!

What fun! I love the 'Gathering Honey' sampler - the bees must be hibernating?

Linda said...

Oh wow Astrid. All lovely projects and finishes and progress.

Astrid: I love anything bee's, these are wonderful designs, I especially love the Nora Corbett designs.

At least getting stung by the stitching bee is better than being stung by a real one!
You have some lovely projects finished and on the go. I wouldn't be surprised if we see both Nora Corbett designs appear on your blog at some future point... why choose between them when you could stitch both! :)

That is certainly a lot of bees! I do like these bees better than the ones that can sting you though! You have stitched many things with bees in them and I am not sure I have stitched one thing! Love the Bee words to remember.

Fantastic bee filled post. I love the blackwork one from the magazine. Beautiful. Lovely stitching and future finished pieces.

Jo who can't think of a clever nickname said...

Thanks for taking part in The People's Choice this month. I think you have stitched the most designs out of all the participants this time. I love that Cottage Garden Samplings design too. All twelve were on my wish list because I do love a monthly series!
