Free Pattern: Patriotic Eagle Pillow and Bag

It’s always a good time to show off our patriotic spirit, but summer is a must. While creating this little eagle, I couldn’t decide if I wanted her to be a mail tote to hang by my door or a pillow for my bench. She makes me smile and I hope you will enjoy her too.

Red Heart Yarns had sent me some of their new Super Saver Chunky yarn in patriotic colors so I had to make a big sister for her too.

Do you carve or paint pumpkins? Please comment and let me know.

I love a lit pumpkin on the porch for trick or treaters 🎃 

My grand daughter and sil are both allergic to pumpkins so they paint theirs. A giant storm destroyed theirs so I carved them one to have out tonight (my daughter is going to light it). 
I made mine into a witch 🧙‍♀️ 

The hat is a free pattern and made from @redheartyarns super saver.
