Four Quail's Nests


We were at K & H Quilt Shoppe in Kaysville, our penultimate stop in the Utah Shop Hop this year, when we noticed a display of bolts with black, silver and gold quilt fabric. They were Moda’s BEE Joyful line, meant to coordinate with their BEE Creative and BEE Inspired prints. I hadn’t paid much attention to the other two lines, but something about these florals, butterflies, honeycombs, bees and skeps (dome-shaped bee hives made of woven straw) was just so appealing. I snagged a charm pack (a stack of 5” squares) and have been playing with them ever since. Some of the prints are full of gentle suggestions: “Bee happy, bee humble, bee true, bee kind, bee caring, bee original, bee you.” It reminds me a bit of President Gordon B. Hinckley’s 2000 talk about the 6 B’s for youth. I’m not sure what these little blocks will become, but it’s bound to bee delightful.
