Bee in Whitework Embroidery by Rachel Doyle
The bee is done on 28tpi white linen using No. 12 perle cotton.
Stitches used are: running stitch (first outline of body - to move from body part to body part), whipped back stitch (legs and antennae - backstitch first and then whip), pulled satin stitch (body), three sided stitch (wings) and stem stitch over the running stitch (around the body to finish).
