Pillow - Floral Pair

I finished these matched pillows for my Father-in-Law.  His mother had passed away before finishing them.  He saved the needlepoint and wool, so I was able to finish the stitching, and then sew the pillows.  The trim matches the burgundy wool, and the back of the cushions is a suede-like fabric. They are zippered and measure 15" square each. One design is Bucilla, the other is Paragon Needlearts. Stitching on penelope canvas in wool yarn.
