I am currently working on two sets of embroidered pillowcases. Here is one pillowcase I completed for my sister in law and her new husband. Their bedroom color scheme is earth toned with a bit of butter yellow mixed in.
A closer look...
The other set is for my friend Anne whose birthday was in, (ahem), May. She is a very patient friend. :) Perhaps if I could work on them more than three minutes a day, I might have had them completed by now. Anne's are the same pattern, only darker flowers to match her bedroom.
I bought the pillowcases and pattern in a kit at the local craft store. It is the first embroidery project that I've completed since I was a very young girl. I think they are pretty and cheery.
