I belong to a quilting bee with 5 other ladies (well, sometimes we are!) It's getting time to think about Christmas gifts and I'd like to do something with a bumble bee on it - Remembering that I'll have to make 6 total. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
thanks for a great group of quilters on this board :!: |
maybe a bumble bee felted pincushion?
or a traveling needle/thread holder? (like a tri-fold wallet) I just got a quilt mag, that had "to-go" coffee cozies.. |

Oh, those are so pretty!

Those are adorable!

There is a free paper piecing bee pattern at:
http://piecebynumber.com/honeybee.htm Maybe you can use it to make something. It is only a 3 inch block, but I'm sure you could enlarge it to whatever size you want. |
SewHappySharon, such a fantastic job you did! It makes one happy to see it. Thanks...did you have a pattern? 80

Our Bee (10 ladies) decided to each make 10 identical gifts to give to each other. Some of them were: Christmas aprons, a small framed picture of our group, tote bags, drawstring jewelry holder, kitchen towels decorated with a Bee (embroidery machine)small sewing kit, etc. Some came from the Dollar Tree and were embellished. It was lots of fun and not hard to do. Quilters make great friends. :-D

I love the adorable pot holders.

I love the potholder idea. Can always use a new clean potholder! And a new kitchen towel, too. This sounds like a couple of winners to me.
Thanks |
