Cross stitch

I have been known to dabble in a little embroidery now and again. I love anything with bees on so this is one that I'll be keeping.
the project is Her Majesty from the booklet By Blackbird designs called Honeybee Hill. I filled it with ground walnuts that has some lavender petals in it so it smells lovely and feels great with the weight in it.
 And for the back, I had some lovely bee fabric of course.
The Q is for Queen bee but it could easily be for Quiltsalott. Loving the small ric-rac finish.
Until next time, Janet

What a gorgeous pincushion!! It's a great idea to add lavender to walnut shells for the stuffing. The smell would be lovely.

Terry said...

What a sweet bee! And I love the bee fabric too! :0)

What a lovely pincushion. I have the same one made for me by Kelly. It is such a beautiful bee pattern. The rick rack is a great finishing treatment.

Dear Janet,
this is truly lovely, very nice pattern and neat stitches. I love the stile. Bee's are so cute and they make honey.
Greetings,

Love your bee pincushion, lovely work. I just think the Blackbird Design girls have such gorgeous patterns.

Jane in Cumbria said...

What a beautiful pincushion, Janet! The backing fabric is lovely too, and what a good idea to use ground walnuts.

love the bee cushion and I love the piece on the table though too - tatting? crocheted lace? very pretty

Ann said...

I love your embroidery. Let us know how you like the crushed walnut shells. I've heard that they can be sticky like they are treated with something. I prefer emery sand in my pin cushions.

I have made this one too because it is just too cute! It took a lot longer to make than I thought it would!

Thimbleanna said...

That's adorable Janet -- I love that you put lavender in with it too!

EL RINCON DE CHELO said...

Que bonito!!!

Dixie Howard said...

Love your bee! I'm infatuated with bees also and was lucky to get a couple of yards of that bee fabric that will go into some fun projects down the road. I also put lavender in all of my stuffed projects - a fun reminder of summer this time of year and so calming!

Janet said...

It's absolutely lovely!

A little hooking, a little stitching, a little quilting life is good. Your bee pillow is lovely

Susan said...

A lovely little pincushion, beautiful detail.

Oh Oh
I. LIKE.
I.LIKE.

We used to do cross stitch allll the time. Staying up half the night just to do "one more line"!!

Cheryl (aka Kayly) said...

The cross stitch looks beautiful! But I'm also checking out the stunning hardanger doily it is sitting on. Yours also?

Mary said...

Fabulous, Janet! I have done just a little bit of cross-stitch and I really enjoyed it. I think I was using the wrong fabric, though, because it was very difficult to see the threads. I either need better eyes or better fabric!

Leeanne said...

Love it!!!

wish2stitch said...

That's a lovely pattern. I quite like bees too.

Nedra said...

I'm now working for a local quilt shop called Mad Bee's, and I'm always looking for Bee ideas. This is a beautiful Cross Stitch pattern! Thanks for sharing!

I love the Hardanger table cloth!

Lori said...

It is lovely and it doesn't look too. too small. :)

MARCIE said...

Darling Queen Bee and nice touch with the fragrance! It has a nice vintage look!

kim mclean said...

Lovely Janet, love how you have finished it too. I did mine but have to work out how to make it into a pin cushion. Love the ric rac edging. Have a great Xmas and New Year Janet! K

Karen said...

So darling! Bees are favorites of my sisters and me! I have Mason Orchard Bees but my eldest sister is a beekeeper for honey.

Featheronawire Sally Bramald said...

It is absolutely lovely. I was all I could do, as my fingers are itching, to order the pattern.

Grandma said...

Hi, I just had to tell you how gorgeous your double wedding ring quilt is. I have never seen anything so beautiful!!! Do you have any instructions for how you arranged to colors for the watercolor effect. Also for the floral border? I have always wanted a DWR and you have inspired me. Any help will be appreciated. gelswood@aol.com

Here is  my testimony on how I was cured of HIV by Dr Akhigbe,with his natural herbal medicine.  on a regular basis in efforts to help others when I could. As you may know, each donation is tested.  Well, on July 6th I had a meeting with a Red Cross representative and was told that I had HIV. “What went through your mind when you heard that "Rose" Good question reader! To be honest, I thought my life was over, that I would ever find love, get married, have children or anything normal. Lucky for me I have an amazing support system.  My family supported me then I never thought that I was invincible to STD s or pregnancy or anything else parents warn their kids about. I just didn’t think about it. I was in a monogamous relationship and thought that I asked the right questions.  We even talked about marriage Scary.  During that time I was in college and donated blood on a re as well. who helped me in search of cure through the media.there we saw a good testimony of sister 'Kate' about the good work of Dr Akhigbe natural herbal medicine cure.then I copied his email address and contacted him. A good herbalist doctor with a good heart, he is kind, loving and caring. He replied back to my message and told me what to do. After a week the doctor sent me my herbal medicine and instructed me how to take it.Yes it worked very well, after drinking it I went to the hospital for another test and everything turned negative. What a wonderful testimony I can never forget in my life. Dr Akhigbe is a man who gave me a life to live happily forever so all I want you all to believe and know that cure of HIV is real and herbs is a powerful medicine and it works and heals.  Dr Akhigbe also used his herbal medicine to cure diseases like:   HERPES, DIABETES, SCABIES, HEPATITIS A/B, STROKE, CANCER, ALS, TUBERCULOSIS, ASTHMA, PENIS ENLARGEMENT, MALARIA, LUPUS, LIVER CIRRHOSIS, DEPRESSION, HIV/AIDS, EPILEPSY, BACTERIAL, DIARRHEA, HEART DISEASES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, PARKINSON'S, ALZHEIMER, COLD URTICARIA, HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS,INSOMNIA,  BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS, SCHIZOPHRENIA, JOINT PAIN, STOMACH PAIN, CHROME DISEASES, CHLAMYDIA, INSOMNIA HEARTBURN, ,  THYROID, MAR BURG DISEASES, MENINGITIS, ARTHRITIS, BODY WEAK, ANTI VIRUS, SMALLPOX, DENGUE, FEVER, CURBS, CHANCRE, AND OTHERS VARIOUS DISEASES/ VIRUS.   You are there and you find yourself in any of these situations, kindly contact Dr Akhigbe now to help you get rid of it. Here is his email address:
   drrealakhigbe@gmail.com      or you can write to him on whats app with his phone number:   +234 901 075 4824.
  My appreciation is to share his testimony for the world to know the good work Dr Akhigbe has done for me and he will do the same for you.

The Sig P365 Laser is a purpose-made concealed-carry pistol. It is likewise ... the work of gypsies, as it takes a frame and slide that are either the exact same size or SMALLER than that of the Glock 43 (a single-stack weapon) and also adds 4 rounds to it. Sig Sauer P320 Accessories, As well as it does it in a manner that is more comfortable to hold as well as has a better trigger. So you might take into consideration the Sig 365 for its impossible sorcery of improved ability and hold comfort over all competitors or probably for how it practically enables you to carry an 11-round, 9mm handgun that disappears onto your waist as practically nothing else weapon.
