It's Bee Sweet, a free embroidery Pattern!

 


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.

Here's the pattern:

Did you ever see all the free vote embroideries I posted?

 




These are just 4 of the free embroidery patterns I started posting back in 2020. The first was posted on Sept. 14. Thought you might like to make some. I put all of them on a tote bag.




I added some of the jewelry pins I've collected. It would have been great with political buttons but I don't collect them.

Remember no matter who you support you need to get out and vote! 

Bee Creative Free Embroidery!


Here's another bee embroidery. I took this picture in a patch of forget-me-knots since that is what the flowers are based on.

I used the same colors of DMC threads as last month's post except for the blue. I decided the flowers were too pale so I switched to DMC 813. The stitches are the same except for the bee. I used straight stitches for the body, french knots for the eyes, and back stitch for the wings.

The flowers are not on the pattern since they are just simple lazy daisy and french knots. I used 2 strands DMC 813 to make the forget me not flowers. The centers are 2 strands of DMC 745 yellow. I used 2 strands and did 3 wraps. The leavers are DMC 704 green. I used 2 strands to make the lazy daisy stitches. 

The x's and knots are 2 strands of the blue and yellow.

The border is back stitch in black wrapped with the green.

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.

Free Tatted Earring Pattern

 



I've just listed a free pattern for these earrings at my patreon   site. It's free, no charge to get the PDF. This pattern has directions for needle tatting and for finger tatting. This is my own design, I have not copied anyone's work. It was the result of doing some doodle tatting.

I've been working on a new pattern booklet for tatted jewelry and this is one I don't have room for. I have another I'll be putting up later.
