Boat pillow I made for a friend
Hello everyone!
Our boating friend asked me to make him a special pillow. He drew a picture of what he wanted...the front view of a paddle wheeler boat, complete with the colors he wanted. I did this in Tapestry Crochet. I just finished it last weekend on our boat. I will give it to him this coming weekend and hope he likes it. If he wants anything added to it, such as a gold ring around the stacks near the top, I can do that on the front with a needle and thread. Here is his drawing and photos of the pillow. I made a simple chain from the two blue yarns and attached it as a border.
~~ Hugs, Jo ♥

Oh, thank you, Suewin for your nice compliment! I tried to make it look like what he wanted. I'm anxious to give it to him this weekend. We will be anchoring with him and his wife this Saturday.
