Flowers and bees


I have so enjoyed stitching these pictures using the flowers and bees set from a digi pattern from Durene Jones cross stitch.  It is the first time I have done a whole set and I love the way they turned out. I used the nearest colours as I have lots of threads. The only thing I did differently was to use all pink threads for the flowers whereas on the pattern some of them are blue. I didn't think they would show up as well as there are already blues in the patterns. The way they turned out I am glad I followed my instinct.

These are just so pretty Marianne. Early in lockdown when I couldn't get me head into card making I order some similar on line but had forgotten you needed good eyesight to do them so they still sit in a cupboard.
