The Honey Bee Block

The honey bee is Wisconsin's State Insect.  Our friend Chip was a honey farmer; he owned Great Lakes Honey at one time.  He'd be covered with bees and get stung occasionally while we watched him pull racks from the hives for the honey centerfuge.  I did not have time to applique this before John took this picture.  I'll get to it soon.  I am working on a mariner compass quilt for the Cedarburg Quilt Museum to raise funds for a new building.
