The Gingiber Bee Quilt 🐝

This Bee Quilt is made from fabric designed by Gingiber for Moda.  Gingiber is a company known for their tea towels.  They have a bee print tea towel and that design inspired their fabric collection for Moda.  I purchased the panel and matching fabrics and made a Bee Quilt for my daughter-in-law for her birthday.  

                       

For this quilt I used Glide Buttercup 40 weight thread #80134 in the bobbin and in the borders where I double stitched some pin stripes and dancing circles. 

In the panel I used Aurifil invisible thread.  For this I turned my tension from 4 to 2.5 and my stitch length from 10 to 9.  I used an 80/12 BERNINA needle.

I used my BERNINA 1.5 inch circle ruler to make an Orange Peel pattern across the panel one circle at a time.

I used the Gingiber fabric called Floral Bees in Honey for the backing and a polyester batting.  I finished it just in time for her birthday!

My Master Quilt Holder was kind enough to hold it up for photos.  I call these photos "Bees and orange crocs in the garden".

Remember to pick up a needle and thread and stitch some love into your world!
