Your pillow is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

Like the idea of having it around forever. A comfort piece!

Your pillow is beautiful! Love the cross stitch & the colors. It is so nice when people put dates on items they make & also on the back of old pictures. We are forever coming across old pics my Dad has with no dates or who it is in the pic so it takes forever trying to figure it out. Awesome job!

Very pretty, it's held up very well. I'd probably leave it out to enjoy again.

Thanks for sharing that beautiful pillow, and you make a good point of why we date our quilts so we can look back and see how far we have come in 30+ years.
