HQAL February 2025

I have done absolutely nothing with the Beez embroidery project this month.

Here is where I was, and here is where I still am:

That is not to say that I haven’t done any handwork during this very short month!

Surprise!

I have gotten out the Garden Basket project!

Here is where I was:

Garden Baskets

After finishing appliqueing the leaves on a border this month, I was delighted to find that I only have one border left to finish!

I was so sure that I had only completed two borders!

Happy, happy dance!

Garden Baskets

I now have the last border of leaves all pinned and ready to stitch (which may, or may not, happen any time soon).

How about you?

Have you been able to move a project forward this month?

Have fun and carry on!

HQAL February 2025

I am delighted to share progress with the HQAL group! Knowing that I have to be accountable to you gals has definitely had an impact on me!

Here is where I left off with my embroidery last month:

In the meantime, painting has been happening!

I was sad to see the rest of the green go, and sadder to see the reminder go (somedays I really need it)!

However, my creative daughter says that she can make a new reminder for me, and that makes me joyful!

The Hubster will finish up the trim (I only do the sloppy stuff) and then we work on the floor (or maybe only he works on the floor).

It has been very cold outside!

However, the sun did show up for a couple of days. It didn’t warm up, but the snow disappeared for a time.

Winter Home

I have finished the next block, except for washing and blocking. I may just wait until all of the blocks are stitched before I do that.

The next cutie bee is traced and on the frame.

I hope to finish it before checking in next month!

HQAL January 2025

I have been stalking the members of this hand quilt along group for quite a while.

I decided the time was right to ask to join, and this is my first post!

Thank you, Ladies, for your inspiration while I was stalking you!

Beez By Tricia Cribbs 2008

I have wanted to embroider these blocks for a long time, and I don’t think that I have had this pattern since 2008, but it is possible!

There are nine blocks, and I hope this cute little project helps me get back into hand embroidery. I used to enjoy it so much!

I was merrily stitching away with that dashed line, and then I noticed that the pattern is a solid line. Oops!

I ripped that out and stitched a solid beeline.

I like the dashed one better, but not enough to rip it out and put the dashed beeline back in!

Yes, indeed, I can live with it!

The pattern does not call for white eye highlights, but I am glad that I put those French knots in!

For the curious, I am using 12 weight Aurifil color number 2692.

One block finished, eight to go!
