This pillow is made from scraps of other craft projects and is completely handsewn. It is of course the colors of our good ole' USA. Both of the words "America" and "Freedom" are stitched in black. A single star is stitched over the navy blue background. The backing is also navy blue and hypoallergnic fiberfil is used for the stuffing. The measurements are approx. 8 by 17 inches. Thanks for visiting my store!

What a wonderful way to honor a husband who is a U. S. Soldier. Thanks to Chestnut Junction for the pattern. I have painted and stitched the heart and then added 5 star shaped buttons to the top. The words around the heart say "I am the wife of a United States Soldier. I vow to love honor and cherish in times of war, and in times of peace. God Bless." I will then stitch the soldier's name, rank etc. on the bottom. I will use abbreviations when possible. The measurements are approx. 10 1/2 inches wide by 14 inches in length and a total of 18 inches which includes the hanger. I have added a wood dowel at the top with a wood ball on each end to complete this hanging. This item has been stained with a coffee and tea mix. I can leave it unstained if you prefer, just let me know at check-out, if unstained the background will be white. The trim may vary from the picture, it depends on what the store has available when I shop. A very special thanks to my friend Erik and his wife for allowing me to use his name for this craft.

I will then stitch the soldier's name, rank etc. on the bottom. I will use abbreviations when possible. The measurements are approx. 10 1/2 inches wide by 14 inches in length and a total of 18 inches which includes the hanger.

This brave soldier is still fighting for our freedom in Iraq.
