Happy Friday Quilting Friends! Its a Friday finish and a FREE-BEE for you! EDITED ON 1 22 2022 The Bee Skep Pin Cushion tutorial can now be found on my YouTube Channel. Click the image below to go to the video tutorial. Mr. Podunk has been a bee keeper for a few years. I've been wanting to make a bee quilt but something always keeps me from designing one. So when Jacquelynne Steves asked if I would like to be a featured blogger for her new Save the Bee's Block of the Month I was elated! If you would like more information about the Save the Bee's Block of the Month CLICK HERE. While waiting for the Blog Hop to start I stitched up this super cute and easy Bee Skep pin cushion. The little queen bee was a last minute idea that turned out adorable. I will not be giving instructions for the bee but I will tell you a funny little fact about it. This sweet little queen bee body is made from a cinnamon capsule. It's a pill filled with cinnamon! Cinnamon is good for regulating low and high blood sugars. I usually run on the low side. Anyway....with a black sharpie marker I drew some lines on a piece of scrap yellow fabric. Then glued it to the capsule. A black button with yellow head pins made the head. The only thing holding the button is the pins stuck into the capsule. The wings are 2 layers of fabric fused with Heat N Bond Lite in between them. Now what does every Queen Bee need? ..... Worker bees! After about an hour of searching for Bee pins I found them....in Jacquelynnes shop! Geesh....I should have looked there first. NOW OUT OF STOCK Click here if you like cute pins...she has several different style of pins with different heads. Awe.....that's better. ~ Lea Anne ~ Pin It
