Patriotic pillows by HATS

Finished these adorable patriotic pillows today. They were so quick and easy using the panel from @handsacrosstheseasamplers and just stuffing them and sewing them closed. I used the technique by Brenda Gervais on pressing them to flatten a bit. For now they’ll sit in this trail I can find the perfect home for them.

Friends of Hands Across the Seas Samplers Stitch Along 2026 Maria Wales Newson

Friends of Hands Across the Seas Samplers
Stitch Along 2026 Maria Wales Newson by @handsacrosstheseasamplers I'm using the @tabbycathanddyedlinen and the @auverasoie_officiel silks. I'll do my border first and since I stitch right to left I'll start bottom right with section 12. Finished January part 1 of the Friends of Hands Across the Seas Samplers Facebook Group Stitch Along 2026 sampler Maria Wales Newson led by Judy Hall. I will not under estimate part 2 and procrastinate like I did this part. 😋I almost didn't make the deadline on this one. A very pretty sampler. I love doing the border which is usually the part I dread. The flowers and colours are so pretty. @handsacrosstheseasamplers
