Here's another bee embroidery. I chose bee sweet for this month since to me October means Halloween and Halloween means CANDY! So be sweet and get more candy.
I used DMC threads- 310 black, 17 yellow. 704 green, 743 gold, and 813 blue.
The text is done in back stitch with 2 strands of black floss.
The flowers are just simple lazy daisy and french knots. I used 2 strands DMC 813 to make the forget me not flowers. Do 4 or 5 petals for them.The centers are 2 strands of DMC 17 yellow. I used 2 strands and did 3 wraps. The leavers are DMC 704 green. I used 3 strands to make the lazy daisy stitches.
The bee body is done in straight stitch using black and gold. Use 2 strands of floss. The eyes are french knots. The wings are done with 1 strand of black floss to do back stitch. The dash line is also done with 1 strand of black to do a running stitch.
The x's and knots are 2 strands of the blue and yellow.
The border is back stitch in black ( 2 strands floss) wrapped with the blue (3 strands).
That's it, hope you like these quick little designs. BTW, I drew these by hand, even the words. So if you prefer, switch out your own printing for mine.
