Patriotic Pillows
Hello friends! I know I said in my last post that I had some new starts, which I do (and these are not them.) I'm actually back today with some finishes! I stitched Old Glory last year, but never got around to sewing it up. And I started the Quaker heart last year too, but abandoned it halfway through. And since June is the month that I normally stitch patriotic stuff, I thought it was high time to get them finish~finished :)
I'm thinking that these will be the start of basket #2 :) Happy Stitching everyone! And as always, thanks for stopping by my neck of the woods!

These little pillows are fantastic Staci.
I love how the fabric matches so well.
Adorable and beautiful finishes.
Gulp. Deep breath. Grab a bag and breathe into it. Gulp. Deep breath. You are freakin' killing me!!!! I love it. Love the socks, too.
Now I am off to kick myself around the room for not having stitched a single patriotic thing since last July, when my friend Carol and I vowed to have a basket each just like yours.
Gulp. Deep breath...
Wow, those two came out of left field... LOL!! Truly fabulous finishes!!!
Perfect finishes for this time of year. I've had the one by Aury on my to-do list since she first offered it.
Too cute!! Love them!
