Bumble Bee Quilt Label

 Lori Holt's

Bee In My Bonnet

Row Along

just gets better and better!

 We may be at the end of 

sewing our rows,

but 

the creativity continues

as she shares with us a 

free tutorial

on making 

this darling

Bumble Bee Quilt Label

 I really appreciate Lori's suggestion

of printing the wording out first

on copy paper

and then transferring the lettering

with a pigma marker.

* I used 

Sans Comic font

size 36 text

on my computer

 I usually write the lettering freehand

and I like the crispness and exactness of this technique

much more.

I didn't even have to use a light box or window.

The lettering showed through clearly

and was easy to trace.

 The next step was to embroider

the antenna's and 

wording.

 This little extra touch really 

adds so much.

 And the bee even has a little stinger!

That Lori thinks of everything.

I can tell my labels have been pretty boring in the past,

but no more!

I really like this idea

of making a quilt block

to match the theme on the front 

of the quilt.
