If they're cutesy, that's great. If it's some fabric of a realistic looking tarantula chowin' down... that's something else entirely.

Once did a bug and crawly things jar quilt for a grandson. He loved it.

I love the bee fabrics and would also like for all of us to stop and think about all the good things do for us. The bee population is dwendling and causing concern about how our food supplies (vegetables) will be polinated. Long Live the BEE!!!

My grandkids called my mother "B". She was an alteration lady all her adult life and was known for her expert sewing. Now that she is gone, I try to put a little "bee" fabric in all their quilts, just to let them know "B" is still with them. Corny I know, but it keeps her memory alive.

I think that's a great idea! Sounds like the "goldbug" in the Richard Scarry series I read to the kids when they were little.

Bees-no thanks for me, but I can put them in a kid's quilt.
I got swarmed when I was little, so I will pass!
As for snake fabrics--you can keep 'em!

My Father was a beekeeper. So of course bee fabric has a special meaning for me. My sister and her husband took over the business so I make things with bees on them for her.
