Product Description
Queen Bee by Nutex
A charming celebration of bees, blossoms, and gentle symmetry
Queen Bee by Nutex is a beautifully illustrated cotton print that brings together delicate florals and cheerful bee motifs in a soft, harmonious design. Set on a light, warm neutral background with a subtle textured effect, this fabric features a balanced arrangement of blossoms, leafy sprigs, and honeybees, with a central bee motif creating a gentle sense of symmetry. The colour palette is calm and inviting, blending soft pinks, buttery yellows, lavender tones, sage and grey greens, with warm honey accents that reference the natural world.
The illustration style feels light and refined, with clean lines and carefully placed details that give the design an elegant, almost storybook quality. Bees are shown in flight alongside stylised flowers and foliage, creating a sense of quiet movement without overwhelming the composition. This makes Queen Bee especially well suited to patchwork and quilting projects where clarity of motif and balance are important. Use it as a feature fabric in quilt blocks, for fussy cutting, or as a gentle quilt backing that adds interest while remaining restful.
Beyond quilting, Queen Bee lends itself beautifully to home décor sewing. It works well for cushions, table runners, wall hangings, and bag making, bringing a subtle botanical charm into living spaces. For bag making and accessories, this cotton print adds softness and personality to tote bags, project bags, and fabric pouches, offering a timeless alternative to bolder novelty designs while still feeling warm and engaging.
Printed on 100% cotton with a smooth handle and a weight of 145gsm, Queen Bee is easy to cut, press, and sew, making it suitable for both confident beginners and experienced makers. The fabric drapes nicely while retaining enough structure for general craft sewing and textile arts. For a cohesive finish, pair this design with coordinating blenders or small-scale florals, pulling out tones of soft pink, honey yellow, or sage green to create a calm, nature-inspired palette across your project.
