A few more string blocks.  These are fun.  I think that's 18 of the large ones.  

The words are finished (chain stitch).  An embroidered rope between the hand and bee skep are next.  Just need to look for a ropey stitch.

It was so much fun stitching with the Gutterman cotton 12 ply, I couldn't resist starting something else with it.

The pattern came printed on muslin, so it was a quick start.
