Hi ladies !
Do any of you have any fabric with bees on it that you would like to barter or sell? I'm looking for more adult-type fabric, not childrens fabric that has bees with smiley faces, etc. Any color is fine
Thanks!

Luanne,
It's me again, the one with way too much bee stuff. I'll check my fabric stash and see what I might have for you. How big a piece(s) are you looking for?
Karen
Follow your bliss! |

Hi Karen !
I would guess nothing smaller than a 6" square - I want to do either a wall hanging or a lap quilt. If I can find a larger piece I would also like to do a long skirt or apron for when we set up at antique farm shows.
Thanks!

Luanne,
I have some bee fabric. One is just a bright yellow with bees on it . . . I've made several aprons from it and it's cute but not children's fabric. This one has been available at Walmart (think I can still get this one at our Walmart)
Also have some that is cream color with smaller, lighter colored gold color bees on it. It's much more subtle - have only 1 yard of this.
Let me know if you're interested in either. . . will go from there :)

Thanks Jennifer!
Our Walmart doesn't have a fabric department, but I'm going away this weekend and will look at the Walmart there.

Alot of the walmarts here are getting rid of their fabric dept. Not sure why. Good luck with your search. If you like it and can't find it I could pick some up and send it to you. Just email me.

Hi Nadine -
We don't make any beeswax items right now, but I'm actually looking for information on how to process the bees wax to make candles with it. Maybe one of these days. Is there something else you would like to barter for the fabric? Also, can you tell me how much fabric you have?
Thanks!
