Storm's Bees

 A friend of mine is having a new grand daughter, so I made a quilt. The baby's room, I'm told, is decorated in honey bees. The baby's name is going to be Storm.....but I hesitated to put it on the quilt....that might change....who knows.

I saw this pattern in a Quiltmaker magazine. Except the top was a smiling sun face. I just substituted embroidered bees.

See, that embroidery machine comes in handy when you need a specific thing....like bees...and bee hives.

the body of the quilt was all ruler work.  the border was flowery feathery things that I do.
