Beautiful.
Last year I did the same pillow for my quilter friend and then made one only made it into a doll quilt wallhanging for my Mother.
I like your choice of colors and the beautiful work you did on the back.
I have not met her but the lady that designed that pattern lives in the city next to where I am located. Small world, Huh? :-D
PS: I scrunk the pattern for a small one and have 3 others in a hoop ready for car travel. Traveling and in front of the TV in the evenings is where I do my hand embroidery.
