Default salvaging some crewel - need an idea, plz

the crewelwork is fine, but the backing of the pillow has simply worn away* - large holes in fact. I figure I can cut around the design, but then what? Applique it onto a new pillow? some of the fabric is shot almost near the design.

It's that old Elsa Williams of a male and female pheasant, if anyone recalls that one. I hate to just chuck it.

*blame it on a man who used it as a real pillow - ha.

One word: Facebook.

There are still some of us hanging on for dear life, though, so stick

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.
