It's the first time I have done a padded pinkeep and the first time doing one of those bow thingys at the top. Don't know if I have done it quite right as it is only pinned on and doesn't feel very secure. Apart from that, I think it looks quite cool and has built up my confidence a bit. The lovely trim I got from John Lewis - they have such lovely trims and things and was only 50p a meter which is not bad all things considered.
Oh and I saw this wonderful book on Staci's blog:

which looks fab so I am going to get my dh to get it for me as part of my Birthday present which isn't till June but hey ho! You'll get a better idea of it on her blog actually.
Well tomorrow is reveal day on the Jayne Attics forum for the March Challenge so I will post another pic tomorrow of another finish I have done.
Take care all.

ReplyDeleteThat looks just wonderful! Congrats!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful pinkeep. I can't believe that's your first one ;)
ReplyDeletelovely pinkeep.
ReplyDeleteLovely pinkeep!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to only just get back to you,I am in Derby,but I like to just put Derbyshire,I bet where you are is a prettier place to live in High Peak!
You did a super job.!!!
ReplyDeleteYour exchange is very nice too. He did a great choice of colours.
Nice finish! This is my first visit to your blog; I found you through Carla's post about the pretty needlebook you sent to her :)
ReplyDeleteYour pinkeep looks beautiful, and the edging you found for it is perfect. Your exchange from Edgar was wonderful as well. The stitching looks lovely, and what a fun grouping of charts. I have the LHN one in my stash to do. One of the ladies on the LHN board did it on a checked linen and it looked wonderful, so that's how I'm planning on doing mine as well.
ReplyDeleteHope things are going better for you , and that Elijah's teething is going smoothly and not to painfully for him.

ReplyDeleteLove your pinkeep, it's great! And I'm jealous of your John Lewis, which is clearly far better stocked than mine :)
