It is a nice way to showcase designs by theme and always interesting for me to discover what I&#8217;ve stitched that fits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This month&#8217;s theme is bees. I have always liked bees. One day I think it would be interesting to have bees myself, but until then I will support the bees by planning my gardening around bees and butterflies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, on to the stitched bees! One of my first projects upon getting back into stitching several years ago was Just Nan&#8217;s Bee Blossoms. I still love it! How about that &#8220;Bee Lace&#8221; double running stitch?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\"
