Judy ~ Passing on the Craft and a Little Knitting, Too.
Last summer this little lady started learning how to embroider with the help of Hoop-a-Loops, (Thank you, Susan!) and when we were visiting last fall, she finished her second piece of stitching which I brought home to make into a pillow. And finish it I did, finally, this past week with the help of some perfect fabric that I found at one of the quilt show boutiques and a great button and some dark green piping courtesy of JoAnn's.
Said pillow is winging its way to the Midwest. I hope she likes it.
The fabric! (The bow below is the correct color.)
Can you see the turtle button? This project was more difficult than the first one, and I think she did a great job, don't you?
Meanwhile, I finished another hat which should fit the intended recipient much better than the last one! Hope you all had a great holiday weekend. The countdown to Christmas begins tomorrow, so I need to get back to work. Ciao!

I love the stitchery and that's a great pillow! Thanks for sharing that.
She should be very proud of her stitching and you made it into a wonderful pillow. Cute hat too!
Super stitching! She's a natural!
She obviously inherited her stitching talent from you. How great to pass on the passion for stitching. That's a great photo of her in action.
I bet she'll love the pillow! Passing on skills is a wonderful gift. Love the hat.
So much fun to see the next generation learning the skills that we learned long ago. I love the fabric you used for the backing....where did you get it? I'd love to have a piece to put in my snail quilt for myself....
