Bee Hives Matter - The Nebby Needle

Bee Hives Matter - The Nebby Needle is a clever and charming design by Bonny Woomer, created as part of an NN (Noteworthy Needle) collaborative. This pun-filled piece blends humor and stitching tradition, making it a delightful project for bee lovers, sampler collectors, and fans of playful wordplay.

The design features a classic beehive, buzzing bees, decorative motifs, and the phrase “Bee Hives Matter”—stitched in soft, warm tones that complement its whimsical style. It’s a fun addition to a bee-themed collection or a great gift for your favorite stitcher.

The model is stitched on 36 count Mello linen by Picture This Plus using a combination of Weeks Dye Works and The Gentle Art threads. The pattern is stitched with one strand of floss over two threads, offering a refined, delicate finish.
