Honeybee Hill was released in 2013 and I have had it in my stash for a while. It contains two designs, the main chart and Her Majesty’s pincushion. Unfortunately, the chart is now out of print.
I recently purchased two of Robert LeHay’s 8″ Recessed Lid Shaker boxes and decided to stitch Honeybee Hill for the top of one of the boxes.
I am stitching it on a piece of 16ct aida which I lightly dyed with coffee. Looks like a child’s cup of milk with a bit of coffee added. I switched some of the recommended colors for Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe threads.
