Designer Thea Deuck describes this design beautifully:
Pincushion Top, Pinkeep, and BumbleBee Smalls - Bring Bees Back to Life with this lovely project for your sewing and stitching table! I’ve used delicious silks and overdyes to create the bees, beehives and the white Echinacea flowers. Several matching “Bee” smalls can be stitched as well: a Beehive pinkeep and a beautiful scissor fob with a large “Bee” on it! This Beautiful set of Needlework Tools is so cute, you just have to stitch them! Thea
