Looking for "Pleasant words are like a honeycomb" chart
I am looking for a specific cross stitch chart that has the words "Pleasant
words are like a honeycomb...sweetness to the soul and health to the body. Proverbs 16:24" This chart has a garden in the center with a wide border of bees, honeycomb, and flowers around the outside. The first part of the quote is above the garden and the second part is below. The garden is divided into four sections with a path paved with grey stones in between each section. The path forms a circled cross, with an old-fashioned hive right in the middle. This chart dates back to possibly the early 1980s. If you have this chart or know where I can find it, I would be forever grateful. If it was a kit and you still have the instructions, that would be fine too. Thank you very much! Marina |

This was in the magazine Cross Stitch and Country Crafts, and the designer is (I think) Sandy Orton although she is not specifically named. Further details will have to wait until after the holidays (when I can get to the magazine file and find them.) Elizabeth |

I have planned to make that piece since it came out, but it seems that something else always displaces it in the queue. Well, someday. I want to make the Rose Garden Sampler that goes with it too.

Yes, it was on the cover and yes, it was designed by Sandy Orton (one of my very favorite designers). The issue it was in was from about mid-1986. I stitched it in 1988 and it was the first thing I ever did on linen...it's in my dining room now. :-))) Hope you have a great time stitching it - it's soooo pretty. Paula B. I have done two of her pieces, Pageant Kings, and Garden of Kindness (aka Metallic Thread Sampler). I have her Silk Sampler (Le Jardin, I think it was called) from Just Cross Stitch kitted up to do. Besides the honey sampler, have you done any other pieces by her? Elizabeth |

Elizabeth I think that BH&G also published the patterns as brochures later, I stitched both of them when they first came out, and they hang over the bed in our room. The patterns called for slightly different colours of linen, but I did them on the same so that they matched. Marg |
