When I purchased the Little House Needleworks Heart Pillow at my LNS after she got back from market, I was very surprised to find a free chart in there that was a Nashville exclusive. I stitched this sweet design on 28ct. ant. white Cashel linen using HDF silk called Faded Glory. I absolutely love how it stitched up. For finishing I added some of my favorite things....blue/cream ticking, braid, buttons and a bow.
Remember me saying that I was going to have a giveaway starting this week. Well I will post about it on friday and this pattern will be one of the items in it. So check back on friday to see what other goodies I come up with to celebrate Spring!
Also, I want to thank all of you ladies for your wonderful birthday wishes. I made it thru the day and that in itself is a remarkable achievement. Thank you all!!!
Blessings as always,
Barbara
How adorable this is and how blessed are we to have you in our lives for another year! Birthday Blessings to you my friend.
