I Stitched a Free-bee!


cross-stitch of a queen bee and drone and the words for you, bee-loved























I may have squealed when I stumbled upon this absolutely adorable free-bee by Romy’s Creations, available on both Facebook and Instagram. When you live with the challenging condition known as misophonia, you often want only the cutest things to stitch—that way there’s something sweet and uplifting to focus on when you’re being subjected to intrusive sounds! It can help take the edge off, if only slightly. I used Au Ver à Soie Metallics 028, Classic Colorworks Queen Bee, and Nina’s Threads in Champagne, Dark Chocolate, Raspberry, and Sea Breeze. I changed the wording—they seem like more than just friends to me hehe—and stitched it using a free DMC font.

Using Canva’s Background Remover feature gives the effect of having stitched the lovestruck little bees on paper!

Have a bee-yootiful week and happy stitching!
