Well my bees are continuing to multiply! Three weeks ago I was making good progress on my wild flower bee, a design I found on Etsy by Doodle and Stitch…
I stitched the legs and antenna and then the wings in stem stitch. I really enjoyed stitching this one, it’s pretty and a bit different. It didn’t take too long to finish…
Over the weekend I’ve been staying with friends, so a lot of catching up and not much time for sewing, but I did have some in my bag which came out when we had an hour or two’s rest in the afternoon. This is another design from Etsy called Betty Bumblebee. At first the instructions looked a little confusing, but when I e-mailed the designer for clarification, she quickly replied, I’d been accidently sent an old version, she e-mailed the new set of instructions and I have just started them, chain-stitching wings…

Thanks Claire, it’s just stem stitch for the veins, I think the light catching it must be making it look delicate.
