I made a pillow for my fiance and I's six month anniversary. It was a heart shape and i sewed the ends together by hand. I wrote "Tina and Michael" and the date of our anniversary. I also printed picture on fabric paper and sewed it on the pillow. I garnished it with yarn and other decorations, buttons, etc.
