About the Sleepy Little Bee cross stitch pattern
A yellow bee sleeps under a quilt in a bed above the text TOO TIRED TO BEE. The insect wears a nightcap and has closed eyes.
The design
Black letters at the bottom spell the phrase. The bee rests its head on a blue pillow. A patchwork blanket covers the figure. The frame of the bed features orange honeycomb shapes. Three letters float near the head. The piece is shown framed on white Aida.
Stitching it
This beginner pattern uses full cross stitches and backstitch. The chart requires 20 DMC colours. A 5-inch hoop fits the size.
Finishing it
The completed project works displayed in a frame, a hoop, or as a small pillow. It makes a joke gift for a tired friend, a college student, or a coworker, and functions as wall decor for a nursery. It pairs with other characters in The Stitching Bee collection.
