Flowers for the Bees

Cottage gardens are a haven for wildlife, and bees and ladybirds are busy in this sheltered garden where delphiniums tower above the beehive. The techniques used for the wall hanging are easy to do and create a lovely scene. Simple piecing forms the background, which is surrounded by a border of little squares and an outer border made with mitred pieces. Fusible web appliqué is used to create the daisies, bees and hive, with a little ladybird button nestling amongst the flowers. Assorted sizes of yoyos have been used to make the delphiniums, while some surface embroidery ties all the elements together.

If you enjoy hand embroidery you’ll love the second project, which is a beehive picture stitched on mottled fabric. The embroidery is given a lovely tactile quality with little buttons decorating the daisy centres and tiny ladybird buttons dotted among the flowers.
