In late summer, I decorate my kitchen and dining area with sunflowers. I knew that bees were very attracted to the pollen in sunflowers, so it just seemed natural to put them together in a mini wall hanging.
Flirting bees!
Sunflower petals were stitched down with Sulky 12 wt. thread.
This thread was glorious to sew with!
Small pieces of lace were used for the bee's wings.
I really like the texture and appearance it gives my sweet bees.
Beads came in handy for the eyes and sunflower seeds.
More photos below taken in the backyard.
Bee sure to follow along with the other bloggers this week!
....aaaand because this hop is all about Bee-ing Kind, I am adding a giveaway!!
Raise your hand if you like quilty giveaways! I see you...and you...and you!
I've gathered a few items from my stash that I'm hoping someone could use. Even if you'd like to pass them on to someone else, go for it!
It's all about being kind, right?
In order to be in the draw, just leave a comment and
include the words "bee's knees" in what you write.
If you are a no-reply commenter, be sure to leave your email addy too, or I'll have no way to contact you. If I receive no response after 3 days from the initial contact, I will need to draw another name.
I'll draw a winner this weekend after the hop!
Sunflowers are my favorite flower, along with coneflowers, so I adore your sunflower with the bees! So darling.
