Pixxie, I love the bees and butterflies band!!! What a fantastic project this is becoming. Where did you find the designs for the bees and butterfly bands?? I would love doing them up :dance:

These two bands are just soooo attractive! I love the way the butterfly band has a really fluttery feel to it as if they are moving!

Maude, you can join in this one - just scroll back over all the posts for the rows we all created and if you design a band yourself, please do share it with us. Lots of us are still stitching (I haven't got back to mine again yet!).
