ABQbeeks (Albuquerque Beekeeper Society) Banner I Made

Back in June 2023, I helped my friend to make a banner for her Bee Group. She told me the name was ABQ Beeks, which stands for Albuquerque BeeKeeper Society. When I heard the name, I thought it sounded like a bird group because of the beeks, which of course a bird beak is spelled with an "a" and not a double "e", but still, beeks sounds like a bird to me. So whoever came up with that name should have thought it through a bit more thoroughly. Too late to change the name now, I suppose.

Anyhow, I had a die cut for a bunting type banner and alphabet letters too, so I cut the the yellow and blue bunting out of felt and the letters out of cotton fabric and then I hand cut the two bees from cotton fabric and organza wings. I blanket stitched around the shapes and punched holes in the corners. I gave it back to my friend to string up into the banner so it could be hung up outside at events and maybe their meeting too. I took photos of each so you can see it, but I didn't see it actually strung up and hanging. I hoped it works well for them.
