Shaker House Cross Stitch Pillow

Make It

This project was made from an independent Craftsy designer's pattern:
Shaker House Garden Cross Stitch »

Instructions

For the pillow I trimmed the finished cross stitch design to one inch around and cut pieces of wool to frame it and sewed them on with a narrow seam. I added the lace before I added the two strips on each side. Press then add a piece of wool for the backing. Turn, press, stuff with batting and stitch the opening closed.
