Create a BIG Wool Beehive Sampler displaying 10 fun embroidery stitches.  Combine a variety of wool pieces both plain, plaids and houndstooth.  A fat bee filled with emery to sharpen your pins and needles is attached to your wool bee hive.  A handy pin keep decorated with another bee will hold all your needles safely.

Fill your Beehive Sampler with a combination of Wool Fleece and Crushed Walnut Shells for weight making your hive stand up.

Handy Hint: thread a crewel needle with each of the Perle Cotton colors to speed your applique.
