Just for fun, I fused petal shapes to each block.
And I machine embroidered each petal (or teardrop, or honey drop) to its background.
Cute!
Now, the bane of my current existence…how to finish this thing.
Narrow black sashing? Black with white polka dots? Medium blue sashing?
Dark blue narrow sashing?
Various white prints?
How about no sashing? Or that light grey bee print?
I give up.
This project is not done marinating.
Have fun and carry on!

Many of you said that these stitcheries needed color and I agreed.
I went bold.
I had several bee prints that I thought I would use but ended up setting most of them aside. They just weren’t ‘doing it’ for me. Too dark against that black border. Or too white, and not enough color. Whatever. Go big and bright!
I will probably tone it down with more of that black sashing. We will see.
For now, it will marinate while I do some mundane things.
Like clean house…a necessary evil.
Have fun and carry on!

I am skipping the New Year’s resolutions.
I am not too bad at keeping them, but I just want to wing it this year.
Figure it out as I go.
I do intend to move some projects forward, if not finish them.
One of those is the Beez By Tricia Cribbs Embroidery Design.
This is where I left off back in October 2025:
The pattern that I have includes nine stitcheries, but no ideas or instructions for what to do with them.
I thought I would jump-start myself by stitching a narrow black border around each block.
I really like how that defines the blocks!
So now I have moved this project forward. One resolution complete. Ha, ha!
Have fun and carry on!
