This bee-themed cross-stitch pattern features a beehive with bees, yellow flowers, and honey-colored hearts. The word "Beeloved" is centered at the bottom of the design.
PATTERN DETAILS:
The model was stitched on 32ct. Vintage Smokey White Belfast linen (Zweigart).
The stitch count is 124w x 46h, and the finished design measures approximately 7 1/2"w x 2 7/8"h when stitched on that fabric. (16ct/equivalent)
The pattern calls for whole stitches only. (Whole stitches = beginner friendly and Aida friendly!)
The model was stitched DMC floss only.
The pattern includes a black/white symbol page as well as a color page, so you can choose to stitch from the format that works best for you.
RECREATE THE LOOK:
Finish Fabric: The black and white fabric is by J. Wecker Frische for Riley Blake. The fabric is Snow Sweet, SKU C9671.
Cording: The cording is 5mm jute rope.
Bow: The large bow is made from a 2" natural jute ribbon from Ribbon Boutique (Hobby Lobby), SKU 809780.
Button: The button in the centerpiece is a 3/4" coconut button from my stash. It came from a bulk button pack that is no longer available.
The materials listed above are unique to this piece. The foundational supplies (the board, glue, batting, etc.-- stuff you can't see) are the same no matter what I am finishing, so I buy those in bulk and keep them on hand. You can see what those materials are on the Tools and Organization page of this website.
One more time, here is Beeloved:
Happy Stitching!
