little milagro inspired lavender pillow: two girls

*ONE OF A KIND*

I love the imagery and symbolism of milagros [translation: "miracles"] - the religious folk charms of Mexico, Latin America, and the Southern US...they are traditionally used for healing purposes, as an offering, or for protection. No wonder that I am feeling especially drawn towards them during this time.  I was was recently putting together remnant bundles and felt inspired to stitch these pillows on some of the scraps of plant-dyed organic cotton/linen I was finding.

Materials: plant dyed organic cotton/linen - dusty rose (dyed with lac & quebracho), cotton thread (black & red), organic lavender buds

Size: about 3.5 x 4"
