Another gift done...the Bee's Knees

Last Summer, during the Row by Row experience shop hop, I picked up a pattern for a row at Quilty Pleasures in Orleans, Ontario.  Although I did not make a row quilt, I decided that this row would make a great table runner for my MIL for Christmas.  Her father was a bee keeper so this pattern was perfect for a gift for her.  I dug through my yellow stash and picked out fabrics for the hexagons. 

The bees are fused onto the background pieced hexagons. I quilted around each hexagon by machine. 

Since bees like flowers, I decided to use this large daisy bring on the back.  The black and white stripe is perfect for the binding.

Once the binding was on, I used perle cotton thread for the trails behind the bees.

Here is the finished runner. I think my MIL will be pleased.

Only one week until Christmas and only (!!!!) two more gifts to make... Yikes.  I need to get busy!
