Spare Change Sampler Pillow Pattern Download

Description

Sit down and relax with a needle and thread. This delightful pillow is the perfect project for showcasing the beauty, texture, and versatility of handstitching.
Coins sitting on a counter inspired the series of circles and lines that create the patterning in this modern hand-embroidered sampler. Complete the pillow with piping and an envelope back for a uniquely elegant home accent.
