Well, here it is. This is the mini I made for the Quilt Blogger's Embroidery Swap. The gal I sent to doesn't have a blog or a photo album that she posted, so I'm not sure if she has received this yet, but I thought I'd take a chance a post it here anyway.
This mini was made for Narelle in Australia, she requested that beads be used. I've used beads before, but not with embroidery. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with it so I played with a couple of practice pieces.
This is what I came up with and I like how it turned out. I did a bead here and there up the stems, and I used the beads to fill in each of the petals, and also the bee's wings.
I hope it meets up with Narelle's expectations, or at least comes close to what she had in mind.Here is a quick pic of the back as well.
I had a good time swapping with the Quilt Blogger's so I'll have to keep my eye open for another one.
