I thought I would show you my progress on No Bees, No Honey,by Birds of a Feather
I am currently stitching this, and started during last week I have chosen to stitch it 1/1 on 32ct evenweave, I am using the piece I received from the WFC exchange and its called Highland, - its lovely to work on. I have changed a few of the colours as I didn't have them in my stash, but I do think my colour choices are OK, maybe the hive isn't as bright as it should be, but I prefer the colour I used. All the threads are hand-dyes a mixture of GAST, WDW, Heavenly Hues & Ozark Sampler and finally a DMC. Progress is a little slower on an evening as I don't use a magnifier, - no wonder I wear glasses LOL!! But I have been wanting to do this for so long and the urge took over, hopefully I'll have it finished by next weekend and then I will start back on my Neighbourhood RR.EDIT NOTE: I have been requested to list what changes I made for the threads so here goes.
Leaves: Substituted with Celery - GAST and kept Advocado
Flowers - substitured with Heavenly Hues Carnation Kept Burnt orange
Hive - Substituted with Schneckley - WDW & Old Gold - Ozark Sampler
Writing - Schneckley -WDW and Kept Maple Syrup
Substituted Tropical Ocean with a similar colour I had in my stash but haven't a clue what its called and who its by.
Alphabet substituted some letters with WDW - Beige

I love this piece. I have been wanting to do it for a while and thought my Mom was sending me the chart for Xmas- she didn't, but it is definitly on my list of charts to aquire. The colors you are using are lovely. Can't wait to see it finished
Su, I REALLY like this! I've got this one in my stash, too, and have been torn whether to do it for myself or my mom. Doing it over one is a great idea! How small will it be when complete?
It's beautiful! And your colour choices look great on my computer screen :)
Barbara - It'll be around 4 1/2 inches maybe 5 inches when completed, I like as you know doing things 1/1 and this was one design I thought suited it.
Wow Su, that's lovely!! Great colour choices too. Beautiful work!
Oh wow, this one is truly stunning - I absolutely adore it! You're right, the over-1 suits it down to the ground ... just gorgeous :))
You're making great progress on No Bees, No Honey. I really enjoy visiting your blog!
I love this pattern from Birds of a Feather. Your over one work is amazing, Very impressed.
Happy Stitching,
CJ
Wow Su, this looks gorgeous! Great work. You and your bees... Picking a design for our RR really isn't that difficult, you know :o)
it looks very pretty,I have this chart too in my stash and would like to start on it now I have seen yours.The colours look much more darker on the photo that came with the chart that is what put me off a little.I like your colour changes ,if you get time can you post your changes.
This is a very beautiful project! And the threads you're using are dreams! Hugs!
It looks absolutely gorgeous, one over one!!!
Wonderful work!!
I love it-it's looking great!-I have had this in my stash forever and REALLY should stitch it :)
Thanks for sharing :)
I love this pattern! I have it in my stash forever too....your's looks lovely and I love your palette changes.
Thanks for sharing (and enabling cause I am going to dig it out of my stash...)
This is lovely!! I have this design in my stash and it is all kitted up. Considering my slowness in stitching over one--I will stick to over two stitching. I love how this looks, though, over one!! Very nice!
