Time for Stargazey gals to move outside again and consider Beez buzzing around their Hivez - what lovely images they conjure! Your vision may include healthy country air, it may be closer to home in your own beautiful flower filled garden, or may stretch to include the bountiful edible gift these busy creatures give to us. To help you fashion your busy bee vista I’ve designed two blocks. Sizes in both blocks range from the tiny 4” through 6”, 8” to 10”. Both the hivez and beez tailz are made from strips easily pieced for a great graphic look OR you could use a print fabric to save time. In the usual Stargazey style we have simple cutting and straight stitching, but with more pieces here than in many Stargazey patterns these blocks just aren’t the quickest blocks around. Need help on using these Beez & Hivez? My sample is a simple row by row version using both blocks in all sizes and it comes together easily, but why stop there? A Medallion quilt would also be perfect - imagine lots of beez circling a large central hive. In Medallion setting again consider having a Queen Bee - complete with embroidered crown - surrounded by her loyal followers. A friendship quilt for your stitching pals? Get busy honey! Also included are the instructions for the beautiful Beez Bolster. This PDF quilting pattern includes full fabric requirements, cutting instructions and step-by-step assembly guidance. You may customise it to your desired quilt size.
