Pillows - Three Very Old Ones - 2/8/2020

February 8, 2020--A few days ago I was telling someone about some old needlepointed pillows I stitched in the 1980s and discovered I had no pictures to show.  I'm taking care of that by writing about them here for "historical" purposes.

The first is a Jane Rainbow Design, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire called Rona stitched in cream colored paternayan  yarn and cotton perle.  I love this design and kept the instructions so it may be stitched again.

The second pillow is a Bucilla Needlepoint Pillow Kit called "Classique".  I've stitched this twice--the first in a cream color (the pillow is no longer available--lost to wear and tear), and the second in a pale blue color using acrylic crewel yarn.

The last pillow I still have is a pattern from Maggie Lane's book called Needlepoint by Design:  Variations on Chinese Themes.  Unfortunately I no longer have this book.  I will keep an eye out for someone giving this book away--I would like to stitch more of the pillows offered.

These were fun projects to work on while watching television and their classic designs still look wonderful in my home.
