Sally--

Yes--All those Latvian design pillows are hand cross-stiched. Either by our Mom--or our older cousin (now long gone)
who lived in Portland, OR. She was a master needlepointer......She had done several wall-hangings. All cross-stiched by hand.
I have one of them--but--because of the 70's colors (gold, greens, orange, brown...etc) I have no where to hang it.
It is kept nicely folded up in a dresser drawer.....shame on me!!!!

My sister's couch is all covered in these pillows. They match her off white sofa very well.
I also used to have a bunch of these--but they never matched anything. Now they are in a big
plastic bag up in my attic. I don't dare get rid of them--but cannot really use them either.

I am blurry on this picture--but you can see more of the pillows.......
