Working on Some UFOs

I bought a couple of embroidered samplers at a yard sale about four years ago.  I've been planning to make these into pillows.  I actually have already purchased two 12" x 18" oblong pillow forms - just needed some inspiration.  I love that both stitcheries are the same size, and both have houses on them.  The linen fabric is slightly different, and the red-roofed house was stitched on pre-printed pattern by an inexperienced seamstress. I don't think I bought these together -- I think it was two different yard sales.
