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 are great! I love seeing all of your patriotic stitches!!! Yep, definitely time for another basket =)

ReplyDeleteNow 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...
