Started small with this little pillow with just Scotland and a thistle on it. I backed it up with some tartan fabric.
Put it together with my vintage Scotland map and this little vintage piper lady doll - isn't she cute?
I've loads of ideas for more Scottish and hometown cross stitch patterns. If I was fully finishing this one again I would add some tartan to the front - think it is a bit squashed looking. Never mind - we live and learn.
Dolly looks a wee bit startled in this picture - perhaps she's afraid of heights! |
Love, Liz

Great font for your Scotland pillow, looking forward to seeing your next Scottish project!
Lovely bit of Scotland , have fun.
A lovely make, I loved the Scottish dolly.
Great idea.
How cute is that little piper lady doll? She does indeed look a bit startled. I think she's totally impressed by your cross stitching skills! xxx
The piper doll, that brought back memories... I had some of them in different tartan from when I visited my grandfather when I was younger - I wonder what happened to them? Always went into the tourist shop and had one, well I was from a different country being from England!!
Lovely stitched pillow
I love your Scotland stitch...it looks wonderful. I have been out of town for about five weeks and I'm just now catching up with all of my blogging friends. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
