Bee and Honey related theme ideas for ladies retreats and women's ministry activities or showers and parties. Based on Matthew 6:19-21.

All the printables were created with a bee and beehive theme for this post. Next week will be the last post in this Beatitudes series and will be all preschool. For this Bee bulletin board, I combined the flowers with the bee theme, and it made a beautiful, fun board! There are different ways to use this bulletin board. The board above is 4'x8', which I love and have used this style/size for a lot of years. I used grass border along the bottom, but I added two layers. It looks great and it adds dimension. Then, I alternated the flower stems 'growing in the grass' under each layer. I also added the tree branch printed on brown cardstock for the hive to hang on. You can print the template here for the tree branch. Instead of using the bees as an interactive bulletin board, I just stapled them with the correct flower. But there is a space on the flower centers to add Velcro and let the students add the bees as a review for the Beatitudes. Print this bulletin board here. I also added bees with the student's names, since they love to see their names on bulletin boards. Then, I let them take their name tags home when the board is changes. If you would rather type in the names on the bees, you can purchase the bees here. You can print the name bees here. This Beatitudes worksheet is a beehive that the students will match the bees to the correct verse on the hive. You can print it in color or black and white. This is a lot of fun for them! Click here to print Kids love these accordions! Once they are printed and cut out, glue the ends together using the tabs. Fold Zigzag style and let the students fill in the blanks. You can print these accordions in color or black & white. Click here to print. While I was creating the above beehive worksheet, I thought it would make a really great file folder game! I added the parts in this download if you would rather use it as a file folder game. Click here to download the file folder game. And since I love lapbooks so much, I created the matching Bee Beatitudes lapbook. They are fun Lift-the-Flap's for the students. They can finish each scripture inside. Or they can finish the scripture on the top inside flap and write a basic summary on the bottom inside portion. Click here to print the lapbook.

These are my quilty scraps. Also known as - my little bits of happiness:) They are cut from all of my quilty project leftovers. I use them all the time and make lots of fun projects from them. These are the shelves in my studio where I keep my fabric. I keep my fabric in baskets by color. You can see the smaller baskets on top... inside those are my little quilty scraps! When I buy fabric... I usually buy fat quarters and sometimes 1/2 yard cuts. It all goes into the larger baskets when I bring it home from the quilt shop. I buy larger cuts of fabric for sashings, borders, binding and backing as I need them per project. When I am cutting for a project and I happen to have used most of a fat quarter... instead of returning it to it's color basket... I cut it into smaller strips or even just a square or two... if that's all that is left. I do not throw it out unless it's smaller than 1 1/2". No...this is not a garbage can:) It's where I put all of the leftovers that are too small to go back in the large baskets. When it's about halfway full, I go through it, cut up the pieces that I haven't cut into strips and squares yet, and put them all into my scrap baskets according to strip or square size. It's a good system for me that has worked so well throughout my quilting years:) The three sizes that I use the most and keep in these small baskets are 1 1/2" strips and squares... 2 1/2" strips and squares... And 3 1/2" strips and squares. (I also keep 5", 7" and 10" squares in one of the larger baskets on my shelves) These are my go to baskets when I am making any scrappy project. I go to these first so that I don't have to cut one or two little squares out of my larger pieces. I hate that!! Using and buying fabric in this way gives me a great variety in color and prints. And it makes my mom and my grandma's proud! Use it up wear it out make it do or do without...:) I just love having precut squares and strips at my finger tips at any given time... all cut and ready to sew in all of my happy colors. For me... just having a stack of 3 1/2" squares like these means the possibilities are endless! Having them gives me the same feeling that I had as a little girl with a new box of crayons:) So let me tell you about one of the ways that I use my little bits of happiness. I make scrappy blocks of course! Lots of scrappy blocks. I make them into what I like to call "Bonus Quilts" For example... just yesterday I posted a tutorial for my Bitty Scrap Around Block. I cut it out of my 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" scraps. I had several of these blocks made already because I have been using them as my current bonus quilt project. I've blogged several times about how I use starters and stoppers when I sew... click here to see one of those posts if you don't know what I'm talking about! (I'll wait...:) Okay...got it? Now back to the Bitty Scrap Around blocks. As I said... I always have a scrappy starters and stoppers project going and I'm now making several of my Bitty Scrap Around blocks. Above are the pieces that I cut for the blocks from my 2 1/2" basket.... 2 1/2" squares for the centers and 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" strips for the sides. I cut the additional pieces for the blocks from my 1 1/2" basket... 4 1/2" strips and 6 1/2" strips. I don't really count how many pieces that I cut... I just cut up a bunch in the sizes needed for the block. When I'm running low... I simply grab my baskets and quickly cut more to continue with the same blocks. After one particular project is complete... I decide on a new one and start cutting again!!! I keep this vintage muffin tin next to my sewing machine when I am chain piecing so that the pieces are handy to just pick up and use as my current bonus quilt project. You can see that by using starters and stoppers each time I'm sewing... I quickly have a pile of scrappy happy blocks to make into a bonus quilt... a runner... a bag... or even a pillow! When one size of my "little bits of happiness" basket is getting a little full... I plan a project that will use up several of that strip or square size and cut pieces for my next bonus quilt. That's why I chose to make these small blocks and call them "Bitty Scrap Around's"... (they finish at 6") because my 1 1/2" basket was getting pretty full! This is a quilt that I call my "Scrap Around" quilt. It's really big (it's folded for the photo) and our favorite go to quilt for snuggling when watching a movie. I made it several years ago. I used my 5" square scraps... my 2 1/2" and 1 1/2" strips to make it. I love to put a really fun and colorful backing on my scrappy quilts:) Now you can see why I heart my baskets filled with little bits of happiness... and why I save them! I LOVE making something beautiful out of leftovers... AND I LOVE saving time and thread by using starters and stoppers. I hope I've inspired you to do the same! Save your Scraps. The secret to "using" them instead of just "saving" them is to cut them into usable sizes and keep them organized. Once you've done that... you will be surprised at how many scrappy happy projects you can make! Let me know what you think about the latest "from my quilty studio" tutorial. Do you believe in saving scraps? My next tutorial will be all about using my vintage irons! Have a quilty kind of day! xx Lori
