I stitched the little Annie's with floss on old linen using an Aunt Martha's transfer (#3987 Shaggy Maggie). The transfers are so cute. There's even a sewing Annie that I might just stitch up for myself after all my Christmas gifts are completed.
I bought this particular stitchery pattern at Hobby Lobby, but you can purchase direct from Colonial Patterns online as well. They have all sorts of fun designs to choose from. My friend, Dani of Dani's 1951 Shop, also sells some wonderful primitive stitchery patterns from her stitching blog where she links to all sorts of wonderful FREE stitching tutorials and patterns. If you enoy stitching, or would like to get started, her journal is a great place to visit.
Have fun,
Lea

Hello! I found you from the Titus2 blogroll. I love these pillows, they are precious! Red is my favorite color (well, that and blue).
Good evening, Friend! I am safe and snug here in Colorado. The kids are traveling in 3 weeks. Unfortunately, that puts them in China over Christmas but when I think of the gift they will be bringing home, I feel so blessed.
Your pillows are precious and your sister is very fortunate to have you for a sister. I am very fortunate to have you as a friend!
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
Your sister is one lucky gal. I'm sure she will treasure the pillows you made her. Your stitching is awesome and I love how your Annie looks with the pillows.
