HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA by Plum Street Samplers

These little pin pillows are companions to Red Bull and Odd Bird. The “Happy 250th” pillow features a three-tiered birthday cake flanked by two birds that were inspired by a motif on the main sampler. The birds are happily waving sparklers, which are worked in a long-stitch.
 
The Odd Bird's Garden pillow features a miniature version of the odd bird (on the Red Bull & Odd Bird sampler) - blue feet and all! The tulips were also borrowed from this sampler, planted around Old Glory.
