This year is flying! Hard to believe we are halfway through 2024 already. I had high hopes back in January of completing some quilts and stitching on older WIPs. Instead, I just keep getting distracted with other things. I am enjoying myself though, like last Friday.
Wendy
at Sugarlane Designs hosted Friday Night Sew In. I was
happy to participate and selected this project to work on.
I Would Rather Bee Stitching
by Primrose Cottage Stitches
This
is the second bee finish this month. I shared the first one here.
Both will be made into pillows. They will be small because I stitched them with 1
strand of floss over 1 fabric thread, which is 25 count lugana.
Many
thanks to Wendy for hosting. I joined her Facebook group and shared my progress
there. Everyone was so encouraging.
I’ve
started (late, I know) to bring out patriotic décor. I purchased this
Longaberger basket earlier this month while antiquing in Ohio. I had intended
to put the Keeper of the Pins pillows in it but that didn’t work out.
So,
I placed one of my Blackbird Designs pillows in it.
And
I’m working on the Hoosier cabinet. I need to stitch a piece to go on the top
shelf. See? This means another new start…geesh!
As
always, thank you for your visit. Hope you have a great week!
That does sound tiny! Bee-autiful. Your decorating is looking great and I do love that basket. Does that shape have a special use or is it just a decorators piece? Nice to have you along on Friday. xx
ReplyDeleteThose small pillows will work nicely in your decor.
ReplyDeleteGreat start to your patriotic decorating. Everything is so beautiful . The basket was a fabulous find. Woo Hoo on another gorgeous bee finish. I look forward to seeing each one made into darling little pin pillows. Have a wonderful week, Jeanna. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThese will just be such lovely pillows, Jeanna;)))
ReplyDeleteThat basket is a beauty--I like the patriotic wooden heart slipped in there--very nice.
Gee, too bad you have to start Another project hahaha have a great rest of the week--hugs, Julierose
The cross stitch is lovely. So tempting to make some. :) Love that basket, its wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour decorations look great! I am impressed with how much stitching you get done.
ReplyDeleteYour displays are so pretty! I love your baskets, and you've given me some ideas. I'm off to see what I can find in the way of decorations on sale at Hobby Lobby today - wish me luck. :)
ReplyDeleteI Would Rather Bee Stitching is adorable, Jeanna! I love designs with little bees in them, and your basket is a neat shape, too. Looks very fun for decorating with!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is amazing! I never get as much done as I planned but that's okay. Just have fun and do what you can! It looks like you're getting lots done. I love that basket too!
