I thought you might like to see what I did
with these hexies from sometime back!
I based it on a pattern found @ Quilter's World....
I wasn't liking this green background
so I replaced it some Essex linen
and added borders....
drafted the words on Picmonkey
and took a screenshot....
stitched away.....
added a couple of bee buttons/charms....
Added a zip to the honeycomb backing...
And ended up with this!
May the lovely couple, Molly and Kyle, always
"bee happy"!
Happy days!

You're just adorable. Great great project.
The Essex Linen works much better than the green. Perfect backing fabric too! What a fun use for hexies.
I really love this. It is just beautiful!I have started making hexies and have been wondering how I am going to put them together. After seeing your pillow, I got the idea of making a wall hanging based on your pillow. I think it would be lovely.
I agree-the linen looks better than the green.Have a great day!
OMG they will love it..as will Mary!
Oh I love it! Gorgeous present!
It's absolutely adorable. Great use of hexagons
This is so cute! Love the bees!
Cute pillow, love those hexies and stitching!!
Lovely spring colours! The bees are really cute!
What a fantastic little project! Love all the details, right down to the bee buttons.
Super cute! I think the linen is the perfect background fabric for those bright colours.
What a beautiful gift for Mary's daughter! So thoughtful!
It's darling! Well done on changing the green for the Essex. So much brighter. Really neat.
Molly and Kyle were over the moon when they opened this package! They are getting so excited and this was such a wonderfully cheerful surprise! You are the most dear person to think of them. It will look perfect on their bed with the wedding quilt. Your stitching and your piecing are beyond compare...seriously! And aren't you clever to use picmonkey to place your embroidery. I learn something new from you every day! Thank you again, Susan. YOU have made this special time even more special. I **heart** you!!!
Lovely
So sweet Susan!!

Lovely way to use the hexies - it's gorgeous!
Bee-utiful!!

This is so beautiful - just love your little hexies and the stitched words are perfect!
So cute! Lovely gift. Great backing fabric - very appropriate.
fun!
Very sweet. One of these days I'll try some hexies.
Just lovely! And I like the detail of carrying on the hexi shape with a few hand sewn on the linen. Nice touch!
Seriously, this is one of the cutest pillows I have ever seen, Susan. And, I am figuring out that it is going to Mary's daughter and hubby-to-be, which makes it even more special. You are special!
That is absolutely adorable….
That is so sweet and I know just to whom it was shipped. A perfectly lovely wedding gift.
I love, love hexie's but at the same time am so intimidated by them. Your work is 'sew' inspiring to this fairly beginner quilter...I guess one day I will have to stop calling myself a beginner...
