After mentioning that I might
place a bee at the entrance to my skep (Blockhead #5) I had an offer of a
button from Janet O. (Rogue Quilter) and Barbara (Quilts and Gravestones) sent
me these 3 fabrics in case any of these bees might work.
Then my neighbor and partner
in quilting crime Fotini, gave me this sweet little print to try.
I think the ones from Barbara
are a little large and the one from Fotini is a bit small. Whatever I use needs
to be about ¼” in size. I’m still contemplating but I so appreciate “a little
help from my friends”!
And speaking of Fotini, she
pieced this top
And I did this one
And they are off to Sharon,
our quilting angel.
Good to know that you have friends who are bee-ing helpful. I keep thinking I have something else but I can't find things in my studio like I use to.
ReplyDeleteMy smallest bee button is 1/2", but I know a place where they might have them smaller. On my next quick trip over the mountain I can check them out, if you would like to go the button route.
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of a song about a little help from my friends. Can't think of who sang it.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I have a different bee fabric and will measure it tomorrow and let you know.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll find the right bee - I'll check my stash.
ReplyDeleteI have really cute little bee charms somewhere. I'll send you a photo.
great GOV quilts!
Not sure I have any bees but now you have me curious so I will check! I like the idea of a button, and an oversized bee might be whimsical. I'm sure it will BEE fine, whatever you choose! LOL
