Scandinavian design in cross stitch can generally be recognized by its reliance on geometric patterns. Although this vintage pillow case has no specialty stitches like the popular Smyrna Cross, it's still beautiful and striking with the red on white coloring. I really can't believe that it wasn't taken home as a treasure at the estate sale. I found it at a thrift store that received all of the estate sale leftovers.
It's a great piece to bring out at Christmas or Valentine's because of the red coloring.
And now, Sassy Cat, you can go back to sleep . . . .
(She really lacks enthusiasm for vintage items, but I find her company quite soothing at times.)
Have a wonderful weekend, and thanks for visiting!

I love how our cats always seem to want to steal the show!
