Last finish of 2010 :) And Thank you's

I LOVED every single stitch of this one! I wanted a very simple finish for this one. I finished it as an open topped pillow with a button for closure that matches shades in the bird/berries. I used some of the finishing fabric that belonged to my Aunts mother and it worked so well with the design. The linen is not picking up the true color. I dyed it and it has some really nice subtle shades of coffee throughout.

YES, my Raggedy Ann's dress is suppose to look dingy-her blouse was coffee/tea stained.
