Default "Busy As A Bee" Calendar Quilt
I always liked seeing Calendar Quilts, so when my quilt guild decided to do one as a challenge I decided to make this - it is a combination of ideas from several patterns, books and some ideas were from online "clip art". I added some buttons and made the saying around the beehive read "Busy as a bee - - - - all year round". My friend Amy quilted scrolling leaves in the borders and in each square added some quilting to represent the block - snow flakes with the snowman, bees around the beehive, etc. I really like the way it came out and it is now hanging in my dining room.

Very clever and pretty. That is one to store away in the memory bank for later on.
