    I love bees and bugs and creepy crawly fabrics. Not snakes, unless they are comical. I admit it. "I am a fabricoholic"

    I can handle just about any bug, spider, snake, but oh, never, never centipedes. Just something about then and all those legs and the fact they bite....Also I hate the way they move, all squigly.

    I have bee hives and a small honey business. I started about 5 yrs ago when I was NOT allergic to bees. Now I leave the "work" up to my husband and collect bee fabric!

    I like the juvenile prints, but I don't want to look at a real snake on my fabric. Especially in a quilt on a bed when I enter the room with just a touch of light. Nope, don't think so.

    I don't like the spiderweb fabrics - I considered using some for napkins to go with my Halloween placemats, but when I thought about bringing them to my mouth I realized that I was not comfortable with that choice.
    I like your bee fabric, and I'd be grateful to see more real bees - my garden is
    having trouble with pollination, given the die-off of many bee colonies.

    I can deal with the webs as long as there is nothing 8-legged IN the web. Still working through my arachnaphobia.

    My friend can't even hear the name "snake" mentioned or she'll start shaking. Poor thing was standing ON her desk a few weeks back because a little garter snake got lost in her office. No bigger than a worm, really. But I understand because even little spidies can make me jump.

    I too am having problems with "drop offs". I had zucchini get about 2 inches long and fall off. in fact, vine crops are not doing well (zone 7 in the PNW). They have flowered and that is where it stops

    I have 3 hives so I am really puzzled.

    I like pretty much anything---except spider fabrics! they're bad enough alive, I can't imagine sewing with them on fabric.
