Wouldn't you think that with at least 50,000 bees buzzing around the yard, I could get a couple of them to land on a quilt? I think this might confirm that our bugs don't like me, not even when I make a special batch of sugar water and doused my quilt with it in an attempt to catch their interest.
I tried putting the quilt in a tree near the hive, putting it in the mint patch, putting it on the hive...and at that point a couple of bees landed in me, so I took the hint and gave up.
The quilt is Do Not Put Your Elbows on the Table, from Back to Charm School
by Mary Etherington and Connie Tesene. You can read all about how much I adore the book in this post.
Bees definitely qualify as "other", right?
Aww....I was hoping that they would labd. Good effort anyway!!! Great looking bees and great looking quilt! We can always call it Quilt ON Bees!
ReplyDeletelove the honeycomb quilt!
ReplyDeleteYou're just the BEES KNEES ... sorry, couldn't resist!
ReplyDeleteThe bees should qualify as other. Love the quilt and the name it was given.
ReplyDeleteLeave it there and sneak back later. If they are anything like my animals they will be all over that quilt once you give up trying to arrange them.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Love it! (and your quilt is cute too!)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is adorable! It's a shame they didn't like it as much as all of us do! Thanks for joining in at the Pets Show!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt and what a unique entry- You are right about other- The bees photo is terrific.

Yep, bees count! Lovely photos of them. Love your quilt. I just made one of these too. It's a favorite. I'm off to check out your other post now about the making of it :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely bees count! I think your quilt is lovely.
ReplyDeletecertainly bees count! Pretty quilt. :D
ReplyDeleteOh you are too funny - never never EVER would I try to get close to a bee, lol!!!! I do a bee dance and run. It consists of wildly flailing arms and legs, a lot of jumping up and down, and usually leaves me very fatigued.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course I was so excited [not] by the pics of the bees, I forgot to say how darling your quilt was! I love it!
ReplyDeleteYes, bees are "other" and your diligence and bravery counts. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I would have braved the bees but the quilt is lovely.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! And now you have to wash your darling little quilt!
ReplyDeleteI guess anything goes... but I sure wouldn't want to try to get some bees modelling on my quilt for a photo shoot!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was too funny.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good try!
ReplyDeleteBee hive quilts so work!
ReplyDeleteYes I think they should qualify as other....just "bee-cause"
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is lovely.
LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh Michelle...you are so funny! I guess bees do "qualify" but don't think they're very "cute"!!! Your quilt looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool idea! It's hard to believe the bees weren't interested in checking it out immediately. I wonder if a little beer instead of sugar water might do it?
ReplyDeleteYes, bees are definitely "others" and they're always horrible to me.
ReplyDeleteYour concept is lovely. A friend of ours was a beekeeper for many years - miss his free raw honey too.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt. I think the bees are missing a real chance here.
ReplyDeleteI give you extra points for trying!!
ReplyDeleteLovely entry to the contest. Maybe they are too busy to enjoy the quilt....maybe if you made one that looked like a big flower?
