And your pillow turned out beautifully - why wouldn't you make another one?

It is stunning! I love the embroidery, and the red/gold color combo - so very rich looking! <br />I am a traditional appliquer without glue and starch also. I have also done some back basting usually on blocks with large pieces. I am working on circles as small as a dime for the Ms Potts project and could use Karen Kay's circles, but there are so many that I am opting to just "do it", so far I am pleased.<br />Love the farm pictures and it would be fun to drive that tractor! Stay cool and keep on stitching!

It is lovely to see the windrows as we used to call then I can even smell that grass. Your pillow looks great and your finished block a credit to you how lovely it looks. I did enjoy seeing the Canadian Geese such beautiful birds.
