I Love Math Challenge #14

Hello everyone and welcome to a new I Love Math Challenge!

This is the fourteenth challenge. If you're new to my blog, you can find more about the challenge here.

A theme for this challenge is picked by our lovely Valentina: GRID (Nonograms, known also as Picross or Griddlers, Cross Stitch etc.).

Grid is a pattern of horizontal and vertical lines spaced out at regular intervals, forming squares or rectangles.

Nonogram is a puzzle in which cells of a grid must be filled or left blank, according to sets of numbers given at the side of the grid, to reveal a hidden picture.

BRILLIANT!!!! ♥ Find more details about Neha's card on her blog. As she is on vacation, she will share her card on her blog in couple days. :o)

And here is my take on the challenge: Cross Stitch Bumblebee. :o)

I wanted to try and learn for a long time embroidery cross stitch technique. I tried it for the first time two weeks ago. I bought an Aida fabric and some embroidery threads in my local store, found some lovely patterns, templates and how to on the web and started learning cross stitch. It's so relaxing and I love it. :o)

I found a lovely bumblebee cross stitch pattern on D.M.C. web page. I embroidered the bumblebee on the Aida fabric using 100% cotton embroidery threads. I used cross stitch and back stitch (for outlines and details). When I was finished, I placed my embroidered piece in a frame I found in our house. :o)

I like how my bumblebee turned out and I'm sure this won't be my last embroidery project. :o)

List of supplies:

• DMC Bumble Bee Cross Stitch pattern (free)
• Aida fabric
• embroidery needle
• Runolist 100% cotton mercerizes embroidery threads:
• yellow
