Remembrance pillow and scissor pouch

Hi everyone, at this time of year I always like to take a moment to remember the fallen in the wars, I started to design this pillow a few years ago and finally managed to get it finished recently.

September and October pillows finished.

The designs were created by Hands on Design and you could get the patterns and the linen, thread and buttons kit from The Fat Quarter Shop as a monthly subscription, however they may not be available now.

I love the September fabric the most, I happened to have both fabrics in my stash which was nice.
Below is a photo of my boo halloween design made into a cushion, you have seen it before but I thought it would be nice to show it next to the October pillow.

There is a written tutorial showing how I made the pillows into a fully finished object (FFO)you can find that on this post.

Hi everyone, phew its been a while! I have not been doing much sewing or cross stitching lately and I am woefully behind on my monthly pillows that I am making for the Hands On Design cross stitch patterns that I receive monthly from the Fat Quarter Shop, but I am hoping to get the September and October pillow finished before the month is over.

Hermione Granger bag finished and giveaway winner announced!
