Bohemian Pillow - Free Pattern

Good morning!

I finished up another pattern over the weekend. But due to cable problems, I have been unable to share it with everyone until today.

This is the front piece of the pattern.

This is the back piece of the pattern.

This is a close-up view of the pattern on the front piece.

Just so you can see the details.

And this is the finished product.

Small T loves it.

A couple of my sisters love it.

And Big Daddy loves it too.

So that's high praise indeed!

Anyway, back to the pattern.
