The pattern is by Country Rustic Primitives. I used 14 count aida cloth, but think I will try the 18 count the
next time. I don't know if I will ever be able to stitch on linen or osanburg. For now I will stick to aida cloth.
I know my pinkeep isn't perfect, but I am quite proud of how my first one turned out. Thought I would
share some photo's. With all that has been going on I have kinda lost my desire for crafting, so
I am happy that I was motivated to try making a pinkeep.
With my brothers passing my Christmas just wasn't the same, but as I looked in my grandchildrens
eyes and saw the sparkle and their little smiles it gave me joy. I enjoyed seeing them have so much fun.
I think you did an awesome job on your pinkeep. Looks great! Janice
ReplyDeleteOh I love your pin keep, beautiful....Lovely family pictures, Thanks for sharing, Hugs Francine.
ReplyDeleteHello sweet friend! The pinkeep is darling! I tried doing one on linen and just couldn't get my eyes to focus well enough...I am sure that has NOTHING to do with me being over 50 right? LOL
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found some Christmas joy with your grands, they are so cute!
Thanks for sharing.
Be blessed,
Cindi
I love your pinkeep, It turned out great! Remember, we like our prims not perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear the kids gave you some joy this Christmas. ((hugs))
The pinkeep looks great! I stitched it last year on the recommended osnaburg. Don't be afraid of osnaburg ... it's really a joy to stitch on : )

Great job on your pinkeep! Looks like you had a memorable Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYour pinkeep is fabulous!! You'd never know it was your first try!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about the passing of your brother. I lost one of my brothers in April... and it was like losing an arm or a leg... siblings are just a part of you. His b'day was on Christmas, so it was a bittersweet holiday here, as well. Your grandchildren are so beautiful.... I can see how they would light up your life in spite of the sadness! Our first grandchild was born in Aug., and it did wonders for my soul! He is just so amazing!
Wishing you a very happy new year!

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother! It makes the holidays very hard to bear, but looks like your family had a wonderful time! Lots of children to squeeze on!!
ReplyDeleteLove your pinkeep Lecia, it looks prim perfect to me!! Let me know if you need anymore 14 ct. I still have plenty in different colors and probably some in 18ct. as well.
