Oh yes, I do! Anything bee-like, but hives in particular, esp. the old fashioned ones, what we call “skeps”. I have attached a photo of a lovely little thing my ex’s mother made for me a few Xmases ago. It’s a style of quilting and embroidery referred to as “penny rugs”. Not sure why, re the name. They are made using real wool felt, and they employ hand sewing techniques, some quilting and applique. There is a shop down the coast that specializes in needlecraft and they sell wool felt, as well as kits etc. They dye it and overdye it themselves and I don’t have to tell you it is GORGEOUS. I love the fabric room there…..I want to learn how to do penny rugs eventually. You could probably whip one of these up in a heartbeat, you!

Aha! I just found out why they are called Penny Rugs!
