I changed it up slightly to add my initials, and work a few of the small motifs in different stitches. Stitched using Anchor threads on 32 count Belfast linen in colour "Faded Olive" from Crafty Kitten and finished as a pillow with a scrap of lace, some saddle stitch ribbon and a handful of buttons.
You can see the other finishes in the album here, It's amazing how different they all look.

Well done dear x
A beautiful finish - well done on completing the challenge.
You have finished it so perfectly:)
They do all look so different. Yours is stitched so beautifully and I love the embellishments you have used. Works so perfectly.
That worked up so nice! Sometimes I find it hard to envision the finishes just from seeing a chart. You have inspired me!
Beautiful stitching.
You do find some great charts for the challenge. Your pillow looks lovely the way you have finished it too.
I see she does a version with a cardinal for the US flavour!
That's gorgeous. Did you choose the thread to match the fabric or was it just lucky how you found the perfect fabric to match!
Beautiful. A perfect finish x
Oh Christine, just gorgeous! Must store that one away for the Pittsburgh Girl, Robyn is her name!
Just lovely - all the colours go together beautifully.
Lots of pretty colors. Such a pretty piece
Love your version Christine, and so beautifully finished too.
What a wonderful little design this is. And you finished it so beautifully. I was also looking at the other finishes of your group members, lovely what they were doing with the design, too.
Nice finish Christine :-)
Congrats on the lovely finish!
Super cute finish, Christine!
