In the Apiary Stamp was stitched using 10 DMC floss colors including: Blanc, 310, 725, 782, 815, 898, 930, 926, 3345, 3799 As with all of the Summer Stamps, I am stitching them twice. Once as a pin pillow on 14 count tea/ coffee dyed Aida . Second I am stitching each stamp in a larger sampler on 14 count Aida that I Rit dyed yellow.
If you are interested in how I dyed my 14 count Aida, I shared the process in a previous post entitled Let's Dye Some Fabric

ReplyDeleteWonderful to visit with Edna, Ginger, and you. The bees are busy - 2 new swarms that is great. My dad was a bee keeper and he let me help, so I am excited to stitch the bee stamp. Thank you. My brother-in-law is also cutting hay. I love visiting my sister - life is better on the farm. Have a great day. Alicia
