See "A bee from Manchester" by Anne Marie Miro

When we saw this quilt at QuiltCon 2019, we immediately thought of mosaic quilter Heidi Proffetty. While Heidi's first passion might be quilting, her other passion is beekeeping. As you know, bees play an important role in nature, but through history, they have also played an important role in providing community spirit and support. A bee from Manchester by Anne Marie Miro was her way of showing support for the Manchester community after the 2017 terrorist attack.

Watch Heidi in Show 2406 and learn about both of her passions.

Anne-Marie, this is a beauty! And of course I LOVE the subject matter.

There is certainly attention paid to making it have a feeling of a bee and honey comb. The colors and design are perfect

Not crazy about insects per se, but this is most certainly a beautiful rendering of one of our most valuable creatures and what intricate quilting. Total marvelous.

Beautifully done and the story behind the inspiration for the quilt is just great. What a gift to Manchester to have such an expression or love and caring done by a talented local quilter.
