Bee pillow


Oh My! Oh My! Oh My! You will never guess.

Ok Ok I must start at the beginning.  While surfing the net and reading all my beautiful followers and those that I follow I saw this cute Bee Pillow sitting in the most comfortable chair at Between Naps on the Porch. Her home office reno here.

I was actually looking at the chair and the BEE PILLOW said what about me.  So I googled Bee pillow and up came Ballards. Hmm only in the states. As you know I live in Canada. So by the time you add in the shipping it becomes too costly.

Oh well... Then I visited Three Pixie Lane , her kitchen here,
Another BEE PILLOW.  IT CAN'T BEEEE....  So next I went to Source Collection where this pillow can be purchased and again only in the states.
Don't get me wrong, I order lots from the states.  Then I happen to read an older post going back to Oct 2010 and ******** Here is the pillow made by  Lindy  here.Horray!!
So I followed her instructions to a teeee. I copied the patten onto transfer paper, then used graphite paper to

copy onto Linen Burlap.  I proceeded to paint. I have a container full of crafts for when the grandkids come over.

Here it is painted.



Then I proceeded to make the cording . I chose blue and white ticking. Yikes my bobbin ran out. Oh well I will fill up two more and proceed.

The back is made of muslin.  So here is the pillow   my BEE PILLOW in the guest room.
What do you think. Didn't turn out great.   A Big thank you to Lindy. You must go check out her blog.here
