Christmas Bees
Bee Noel
The
simple elegance of an ornate alphabet embellished by sparkling bees
makes this Christmas carol buzz! 'Noel' is French for 'Christmas' and
'carol', so how better to celebrate this duality than by offering two
versions - a horizontal in red/gold and a vertical in blue/silver.
Easily adapted to other fabric and fiber choices. Can be framed or
finished as a stand-up ornament, a wall hanging or even a small
decorative pillow.
