As long as they are cute cartoon bugs and snakes, I like them, but I wouldn't make anything with real looking creatures. NO WAY!!

Most bee fabric has cute little faces. It's cute! Remember the ant fabric that was around some time ago?? That sorta creeped me out b/c they looked real lol
I love fabric with cats and dogs or anything with a cute face. But snakes???? AAAHHHHHHHHHHH :D

I bought fabric similar to that for my father. He's a bee keeper and he sells honey with my sister. Bees to scare me but I'm SLOWLY getting over it.

I've just ordered the honeybee fabric for the shop, and it will probably be a couple of weeks before it arrives. It's by Michael Miller. They had a pretty floral fabric that was part of the same group and I ordered that too. What are bees if they don't have flowers to pollinate? Anyway... it had the same shade of gold in it so I thought they would be good together.

I love the bee fabric. It would make cute pillows for my reading area since I am Mrs. B. and have bee decorations all over my classroom.

I have a nice variety of bug fabric. A friend even brought me a yard from Paducah a year or so ago to add to my collection. However, there will NEVER be a snake fabric in my collection! :shock:

I am a retired life science teacher and I LOVE insect fabrics. Butterflies are my favorite but others are fine too. Snake fabric is okay but it would have to be for just the right quilt. I'll buy insect fabric just because I like it.

Bees are cute but I guess I would have to have a open mind with my son who loves all things gross and slimy. So yes i would look at them!
