I Would Rather Bee Stitching - Primrose Cottage Stitches

All summer, Sheri, The Colorado Cross Stitcher has once again hosted a virtual Cross Stitch Camp, with challenges each month to test our skills.

This month we had to do something new to us and with my choice I covered that twice over.

First off I went with a designer that I’ve never stitched before, and I loved working on it so much that I already have another of her charts kitted and ready to go!

My choice was ‘I Would Rather Bee Stitching’ from Primrose Cottage Stitches, which I changed a little to reflect my blog name.

When it came to finishing, I decided to have a go at a block finish.

I liked the idea because it didn’t involve getting my sewing machine out!

All I have to do now is find some ribbon and or flowers to decorate the top and it’s done.

I’d just like to give Sheri, The Colorado Cross Stitcher a big shout out here.  She’s done an amazing job over the last 3 years, coming up with challenges for as, throughout the summer and the winter camp in February.  

Last year there was even a Sampler Camp in November, so lots to keep us busy.

Happy Stitching!
