finally!

Before I put my sewing machine away to tidy things up before I went on vacation tomorrow, I thought I had better finish off the two pillows I started several weeks back. And here they are!
Autumn Bouquet by Blackbird Designs

And Autumn Song also by Blackbird Designs.

And here is the complete collection. I don't think I need any other fall/Halloween pillows for the couch. :-) I'll have to start on other seasons.

I put in the last 14 stitches on my floss holder when I got home from work last night. :-) Took minutes just like I thought. I started Little Witch from Shepherd's Bush yesterday. It's already coming along nicely.
I'm all packed and ready to go to Disney World. I am bringing a ton of stitching because I don't know what I'll feel like doing but most of it is Halloween/fall related. I hope I actually stitch when I get there. While I love Disney and all that it offers, what I really need is a vacation where I can sit around and do nothing by the pool. I hope I get it.

What GORGEOUS pillows Margie! I love them all, they couldn't be more perfect! However do you keep your pugs off of them? They must be better trained than mine, lol!

Your Little Witch is too cute! You're on a roll with your SB stitching, love it!

Love the couch! Have a great vacation.

Whenever someone says, "I think Stella is..." I immediately look it up and, well, AmStaff sounds right. There's a picture that looks just like her when she's showing her "short snout" face. (In some lights you see the retriever snout, and some you see the short snout. Kind of like Jerry's girlfriend, Gwen "two-face," that only looked good in the back booth of the diner.)

Awesome finishes, Margie and I love the display on the couch. It looks so pretty and inviting.

Your floss holder is really cute and the little witch is coming along nicely.

Have a great trip and I hope you get lots of R&R by the pool.
