Celebrating Memorial Day....

Heart in Hand "Olde Glory"
stitched on 32 ct. coffee-dyed linen w/ recommended threads

A quick post this morning to share a finish. I stitched this one last week and finished it yesterday. I decided to finish as a little pin pillow but will most likely add it to my the display in my office. This was a cute design to stitch.

Happy Memorial Day.....we start summer school today (ugh!) so I will be working. Hope everyone has a wonderful day and happy stitching....

    That is SO adorable! Congratulations on your finish.

    Sorry about summer school though :( East Allen in IN doesn't let out until the 7th (because of snow days).

    I just found your blog recently and LOVE LOVE your patriotic cr. st. pillow! I have done several too, but not this one yet. I'm almost sure the pattern is in my stash, so now you've inspired me!

    You do wonderful finishing work!

    Nice to 'meet' you!
