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!

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!

I took about a month off for cross country traveling to explore and visit with my daughter and fam in North Carolina.
I brought some handwork with me, but did not accomplish much. I prefer looking at the scenery as opposed to concentrating on stitching while driving. I did try, but my stitching was pretty wobbly and slow going.
True…the Hubster is driving…don’t stitch and drive at the same time. Ha, ha!
A reminder of what I am working on:
A reminder of where I was when last I shared:
That block is now stitched!
I have all nine of the completed blocks up on the design wall.
They are awaiting a wash and then will be pressed and squared up.
I am deciding how I want to sew these cute bee blocks together. Do I want to make a small wall hanging? That was my original purpose for joining this group, but now I am having second thoughts. Do I want to make a couple of table runners? Bee pillows? I dunno. What would you make with these?
