The Bee Man's Garden

 
"The Bee Man's Garden"
design by Anne Brown of The Goode Huswife" 
 
I thought that I would share this oldie but goodie. I stitched this back in 1998.
Back in the days when my eyes were better and I tended to stitch everything over one.
Those days are over :) But I am glad that I stitched over one when I was able.

 
The stitching measures 4.5 by 4.5 inches.

 
I usually display it with this folky bee skep by folk artist, S. D. Meadows.
 
I hope to be back shortly with a few last strawberry finishes, before moving on to patriotic creations.
 
"The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
~Psalm 19:1
 
Blessings, Patti

  4. Oh wow this piece is awesome! I always said I would stitch on 40 count for as long as I could before I needed glasses. Now I find it hard to stitch on it WITH my glasses.
    Thanks for sharing this one!
