A couple of finishes

Thought I should do a post and show a couple of my recent finishes.

Plum Street Samplers - In Friendship stitched on 32 count Patriots Brew with overdyed threads

Started 9-23-17

This cute little pillow was the pattern we received from Paulette Stewart of Plum Street Samplers at the Dyeing to Stitch retreat last September.  I've had this stitched for a bit and finally FFO'D it.

I used velveteen from Lady Dot Creates on the back.  Boy let me tell you I love that velveteen!!  It was very nice to work with.  Highly recommend it:)
