Two posts in one day!!
Just finished my first ever pinkeep!! Now to all you finishing experts pls don't laugh at my feeble attempt!! As you can see - it's not quite centered and all the pins are different colours and I made the mistake of cutting the backing fabric corners out which made it start to fray a little which I quickly hid with ribbon!! Thank you to Carol for the link which provided the instructions. It's far from perfect but I am very proud of it - even if I may say so myself!

I love your pinkeep Hazel. I really must try making one.
It's gorgeous! I have not tried a pinkeep yet! Great job!!!! Your confidence simply must be growing now!
Your pinkeep is very pretty. You did a great job. Your next one will be "perfect", I love your cheryl bouquet, and enjoy your great stash.
Happy Easter.
Love it!! Congratulations!
Very nice! I haven't tried one of these yet, but have wanted to. Congratulations on your finish :)
Well i think you've done a great job there! Congrats on your finish
I think it turned out great, very cute pattern, and I don't see any problems with your finishing. I haven't made a pinkeep yet, but it is on my list of things I want to make this year, along with a flatfold.

This is just lovely and I didn't see any of the imperfections and would never have guessed there were any unless you'd said, it's fab :) (lovely stash too!)
It is so pretty! This is such a great job for the first time you've done it. I haven't tried this yet.

That's a very pretty pinkeep, the design and colours just perfect. Nevermind about the boo boos, we all learn from them :)
