I’m afraid I don’t have much to show for TNT this week. Most of my weekend got eaten up. Friday was very busy work-wise and it spilled into the evening. On Saturday, Dave and I got up and headed to Mom and Dad’s for Christmas in March with the family. As you know, we weren’t able to get together with my brother et al at Christmas, and Saturday was finally a day when every one was free.
It was a great day, but it’s a long drive there and back, and with all the excitement of presents etc, Dave and I were zonked when we finally got home that night. Sunday was slower, but I was focused on binding a quilt (more on that tomorrow). I didn’t actually pick up my cross stitching until about 9 that night. And as a result…
This is all I have to share. Right now it kind of looks like a heart wearing a crown… but obviously, there’s more to come. A lot more.
The pattern is Tudor Bee by The Blue Flower. The part I have stitched is the little bee’s shoulders, and part of her head. Eventually, it will look something like this:
But I’ve got a lot more little x’s to make before I get there!

Tudor Bee is such a pretty piece (and a new one to me). Looks perfect for you with your gardens and bees, etc. So, how did your brother like his quilt?? That one just cracked me up.

Love that Tudor bee! Are you framing it when finished or making into a pillow?

I think that pattern is just stunning! And you’re right, I thought it was a heart wearing a crown!!
Did your brother like his outhouse quilt. I would have loved to see his face. 🙂
