Pin Pillow

Another very quick stitch. I stitched this one for a friend (I have covered the monogram so it will be a surprise) and I hope she will enjoy it :) I just love the stork scissors :) I finished it with some great Hounds Tooth fabric and added some lace and a contrasting button as well as a rusty safety pin :) FUN! I think I will stitch this one several more times as gifts :)




ROFL...I had to crop out everything but the lace and button I was trying to show you as I realized once I had uploaded the pic that I failed to cover the initial :)
