Such a sweet pillow with beautiful workmanship.
What a walk down memory lane for me. My granny use to make & crochet the Southern Belle pillows and pillow cases. I still have some of her old patterns. She taught me to crochet when I was eight. Thanks for this wonderful post.

Hi Kelli. That is a great pillow. In fact I have pillow cases that belonged to my Grandmother with the lady in the bonnet. Thx for sharing. That was a nice present you were given. Take care and have a great weekend.
I can't believe it. I've never uploaded a photo. For show and tell I uploaded my beloved cat and my books.
By the way, your blog is just lovely. I love embroidery.
How beautiful, Kelli! What gorgeous details and workmanship. Jackie did an incredible job.
Your pillow is so pretty, Kelli! I love how the bottom lace and finish is the bottom of her dress! And the embroidery work is beautiful!

Thanks for sharing,

what a beautiful pillow..
I remember when I was much younger, I used to do some needle work similar to that but not nearly so fancy in the stitch work. It's beautiful and you do a great job. I would be proud of that myself. Thanks for show and telling.
What a sweet pillow! It reminds me alot of a quilt my great-grandma had when I was young...I adored it and her.
Thanks for sharing!
beautiful!!
Your pillow brings back memories of when I was a little girl learning how to embroidery from my Grandmother. This is just lovely.
Your coffee tag tutorial was really special...I will do this.
Happy Spring, Mary
