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 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
