This is what I made for my daughter. She likes to hang things on her door handle but it could also be used as a pin cushion. It took about 12 hours. I like how it turned out and my husband is really pleased with it also :)
The flower border is adapted from a Christmas design by I Stitch Charts http://istitchcharts.blogspot.com DMC L760 & L3012 two strands.
The alphabet is from Yarn Tree http://yarntree.com/036alpht.htm using DMC 309 two strands. 28 ct. Aida
The fabrics and rick-rack were in my small projects boxes. I used three different fabrics on the back to create stripes and it took 1 yard of the rick-rack to finish the front and make the handle.
Finished size - 7"x51/2"
I'm now back to stitching Cirque Des Carreaux and plan on having that finished for our wedding anniversary in February.
