For the center I used the cute Russian Sweetie embroidery I did earlier this week. My partner also likes Matryoshka dolls so I thought it would be the perfect touch! I sure hope you like it, my sweet partner!! It was sure fun to make, trying to include all your favorites!! For the pattern, I used Oh, Franssons, easy to follow tutorial.
I also stitched up a cute pincushion to match the wall hanging. It is the first pincushion I have done and love how it turned out. They are so simple to make, so I will be making many more! The pincushion was inspired by these cuties.
One more thing! My sil, Tasha is having a GIVEAWAY on her blog and it ends tonight! Hop on over and say hi, and enter to have a chance to win $20 in embroidery patterns from her Etsy shop.
these are both so adorable kerri! i love how big you made the pincushion. i was also inspired by jamie's cute ones and made one too. i love it so much more than my ugly red tomato the was falling apart! you have definitly made me curious to try the dresden now. so many things to try, so little time!! eek! we need to get together for a sewing day sometime when the kids are at school.
