Pattern 4, Glory Bee

These Busy Little Bees are Celebrating!

These two little bees are preparing to celebrate the holiday...they've got stars stitched into their Bee "Trails" using an easy running stitch and black embroidery floss. There's even a Star around the opening of the Beehive Door! The Bees have decorated their "home" with a Flag on top and a "Banner" on the railing. How patriotic! Beehives are super easy piecing with applique details.

Part of the personality of this block are the specialty fabrics we used in the block. The Star & Stripes Flag and the colorful Banner are "must haves"! You can purchase them and all the other specialty fabrics used in the quilt blocks in the "Honey Bee Lane" Accessory Fabric Packet(ITEM #Honey Bee Lane 107)! Melissa and Arlene designed this fabric and others in the quilt just so you can have your block look like theirs!
