Mylene was the recipient for the first Prairie Schooler Exchange of the year. I thought it was appropriate to stitch February from the Summer & Winter Leaflet. I hadn't finished a pinkeep in a long time so this was the finishing method I chose.
Prairie Schooler - February from Summer & Winter Leaflet No.91.
32ct Natural DMC Linen.
DMC threads.
Finished as a pinkeep.
That is really a lovely pinkeep!!! Your finishing is beautiful and Mylene will love it!
ReplyDeleteAndrea,
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! The finishing is perfect.
I commend you for making something with so much white in it!! I absolutely hate doing large portions of white!! The piece is stunning!!
ReplyDeleteCross stitch in and of itself is lovely, but the finishing touches enhance the stitching. Your work has such attention for detail and the finish looks flawless.
I am in awe of anyone who finishes!!!
Beautiful finish Andrea! I love the little charm - what a sweet touch! :)
