I took the beehive and flower motifs from LHN's Gentleness and stitched them for this adorable pillow. I just love the way it turned out. I used some antique lace, buttons, Gingham ribbon and some bee print for finishing.
I am having the BEST time stitching, creating and finishing gifts for my blog readers :) This one will be coming to live with one of you :)
The flowers are NOT as vibrant blue as they appear in the picture-they are a more toned down blue.

Very cute
At the rate you are stitching, you will have the LARGEST number of finishes ever! Very very cute, yet again Becky! Hugs!
I love how different the same pattern can look depending on fabric and finish. This is so cute!
Another cutie.
Oh my gosh you are SO good at choosing a part of a design and making it look like the whole design....if that makes any sense! Another cutie patootie pillow! Congrats on the finish!
My goodnes you are quick! Everything you make is just adorable too. I think my favorite SO FAR THIS YEAR (LOL) is the Heart in the Garden. But I'm sure that's going to change often.

That is very sweet! Love the stitching and the finish as per usual!!
I love the fabric you chose with the design you stitched!! So pretty!
Becky, you sure do stitch fast, I wish I could stitch like that. It's a lovely design.
Oh my gosh I LOVE this!! Love the colors and the backing fabric you chose is perfect!
Hugs
You are diffidently on a "roll" hun; this is so cute; I love the little bees. I still think you could publish a book on "finishing" and it'd be a top seller. I know I'd buy it.
Hugs, Shar
It's wonderful! I love the blues no matter the color!
Becky,what a cute pillow. You finishes are always so nice. Who ever recieves this pillow I am sure will treasure it for ever.
Hi Becky~ That is so cute, you make the nicest things and you are so fast at it. I am in the middle of a craft room re-do so my stuff is all sitting out on the back patio right now, can't wait till I can get it all back in here and organized. looked at your craft room pictures and I got all kinds of ideas I may borrow from you.
Blessings,Joann
What a cute finish! The backing fabric is so perfect for it!
I love it Becky!!! You have put this pattern to many great finishes. I love the finish and the decorative finishing touches you are so creative. Pat
This is totally adorable~~~~
Another cute one!!
What a sweet finish! Your blog is a source of inspiration :)
I am always in awe of people who can take parts of a design and put them together, or even change a design. You always do a great job! Love this pillow.
Another fab finish. I love the way you do the bow and button detail.
Seeing your lovely stitching so far this year is making my stitching mojo come back (its just soo hot and sticky here at the moment that I sometimes dont feel like stitching).

Haven't been reading a lot of stitching blogs lately and now that I see your latest finishes I know I have missed it a lot.
Oh, that turned out real cute Becky. Love the bee fabric too!

You are amazing, such quick work, and such wonderful finishes!
Love your finish on this one SOOO much! Plus I LIVE all things Bee, as I know you do too!

This is a beautiful pillow and whoever receives it is very lucky. I love the bow on the front, definitely adds to the design :)
I agree with every single poster about this darling design. You have the best eye for coordinating fabrics which enhance your beautiful stitching. Thanks for the continuing inspiration you give to all your readers.
Cute! It makes me think of lovely summer days yet to come:)

Oh my, this is ADORABLE, Becky! Someone is going to squeal!!!
Don't you love how the camera likes to play with colors ~ not!
This is adorable....love the stitching and the bee fabric is just way too cute!
Gosh, you are so quick!! I think thats where I go wrong, I always pick medium sized projects to stitch, and it takes me ages to finish, and I get a little bored, so I've decided to finish my WIP's ( I have 3, one is from Christmas 2009!!!) and start stitching smaller ornaments. Your blog is my inspiration!
I love the fabric you have used, and the finish, its just beautiful.

Another piece that makes me smile!! I always look forward to seeing what you're up to and sharing with us. :)
So cute, and so fast :)
What an incredibly cute finish Becky:)
You've had some gorgeous finishes so far this year Becky, too cute.
Very cute Becky.
Hugs
It's beautiful, Becky - the attention to the small details with the lace, ribbon and button is what really finishes this (and all your pieces!)
