The Texas Angel was a pillow that I sewed off of a pattern for my pastor's wife in Mexico City when I was doing mission work there years ago. I became very close to their family - almost like they were my parents! I knew that they loved Texas and I saw this cute pattern and wanted to make it for her.
To make this, I traced the pattern onto a piece of white fabric. Then I chose the colors of embroidery floss I wanted to use for each part and started sewing. It was not too difficult to make and I really liked the finished product. My mom helped me sew it onto a pillow and I think she did a great job. Teamwork at its finest! I wonder if I can find the pattern again in my pile and make another one...
My pastor's wife says that this still is used every day on their bed. I'm glad that she liked it so much!

I have no idea who made the pattern! :) I was really into primitive stitching at the time, but I'm pretty sure I didn't make it. I had a year of angels patterns but I don't think that was it... I just googled and didn't find anything!!

It is so sweet of you to make this for the pastor's wife. I guess everytime she hugs or sleeps on the pillow she will feel the love and the warmth from you. Beautiful heart and beautiful art. 😍

This is such an adorable sweet pillow!! I really love the cowgirl angel!! I love the added words on there too. I bet it’s special knowing the pillow still has a place on their bed! Good job on this project!!! 😊 Thanks for sharing~

Thanks! I love sewing things like this. They're quick and easy. I made the grandmothers a handprint pillow last year for Christmas and have made my mother-in-law some flamingo pillows like this. I started off trying to get "I Done My Best" patterns, but decided I actually like doing these type better. ;)

I used to sew pillow cases as a little girl so maybe that's where it started...or it is hereditary as my mom also sews. :) I don't do clothes though!
