love bugs but SNAKES are too many steps too far------HOOOWL!!

I have just gotten into Bee fabric my daughter just started teaching kindergarten and her room theam is bees I am making her a Bee tote bag when that is finished I will be starting a small quilt with bees fabric. It will be my second quilt ever

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.

I like bee fabrics, and dragon flies, and frogs, and dinasaurs, and lady bugs, and ants, and praying mantis, but I don't like things that crawl on their belly like a reptile. Yuk

We have these two in our shop, and they aren't on a lime green background!

Ooh, I have that one in blue! I love bug fabric!

i like that one and one other, not realistic brown tuff-lol

All those creepy crawly and slithery things have a 6 1/2" square space reserved for them on the I Spy quilt I want to make for my daughter's special needs 2nd grade classroom.
PM me for my address if you have some that you would like to donate for my quilt.
Hugs and smilesssss, Linda

i bought 6 yards of the same material to make my one twin a new quilt when i brought it home he said mommy you bught the wrong material i wanted ducks not bees this is what happens when too many people request quilts from you you cant remember who wanted what. still cant for the life of me remember who asked for a quilt made from the bee material

I can use a bug fabric. Not affraid of the bugs that are on the fabric because I know I can scare them with a hot iron.

I have a friend whos hubby was a bee keeper and she collects all inds of bee fabric.

Both are okay for me although I am always on the lookout for snake fabric. My DH is a Herpetologist (reptile person) at the AZ Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson and specializes in rattlesnakes. Here's a pic of a wall-hanging I made for him that he has hanging in his office at work. Hope it doesn't creep everyone out!

LOL

Love "bee" or any other bug fabric but I am sooooooo glad that there is no rat fabric that would really freak me out and put me off quilting forever.

I love bees..insects..nature, but not particularly in a cartoon form. I can understand why lots of people like it though...far less scary!

LOVE bug fabric! Haven't seen much snake fabric, but I like them too. Now SPIDERS.... UGH!!!

I think the insects (bugs) are really cute. Not so sure about snakes, though. Love the bee fabric, really cute.

LOL...I have a little and I do like it, but everytime I see 'buggy' fabric, I think....no, don't need any of that!:shock:
this is a lot like mine and cute. I like cute! :D

ahem! :roll: :lol:
I'm sure glad you didn't say mouse! I 'R' a mouse...no rat here ;)

Mousie R cute, rat R ugly!! Smilesssssss

I always add a ladybug to every quilt that I applique. Sometimes I add it to the label on the back but it is there!

I actually like most bug fabrics. they make great quilts for the kiddoes, especially boys.

How about these? Do they creep you out? I had to have this but haven't decided what to do with this FQ. Any ideas will "bee" entertained.

I love any kind of critter fabric. I made my grandson a bug quilt a few years ago. As for bees, it's not that I don't like them, but I am allergic--not life and death, but I swell up big time and sometimes (depend on where stung)I get a red streak following a vein.

Collect more bugs and put them in "jars" on shelves. I am collecting fruits and veggies for the same thing.

I am making a wall hanging using insect fabrics (for my son). So far it looks really cute. I still have to finish one side - it's going to be reversible - and sandwich and quilt. Does anyone know how to keep the photo looking original and not fade? I don't think my computer ink is permanent! Thanks.

That is really cute. God bless.

I like insect fabrics where the theme of the quilt can use it. This photo is of a quilt I made, wanted a fresh-air, summer picnic effect. My niece wanted pink and green.

That is adorable 2livesdown!!

No bed bugs please.
It seems they are making a come back.
Makes me shutter.

Have you seen the mosquito fabric? I bought a half yard earlier this summer, then decided I 'needed' more so I got more! I'm picturing it in little table runners for some of my best friends....
My Dad used to keep bees too. Same as someone else, I only got stung once and I deserved it.

I needed one more "boyish" fabric to go in a quilt I was making - found one with big bugs on it that was perfect. The girl at the cutting table was totally freaked out! Fortunately thhe parents-to-be thought it was great!

There is an on line store called bugfabric.com. They have a great line of animal fabric. Enjoy.
