Exchange for Michele......

Homespun Elegance "Summer Blossoms"
from Welcomes 'A Plenty V
28 ct. coffee-dyed evenweave w/recommended fibers

Michele let me know she received her Friends Stitching Through the Seasons spring exchange. This was my first attempt at a pinkeep and I am relatively happy with the finishing. (Really love the fact it didn't require a sewing machine!) I love these "welcome" designs from Homespun Elegance and hope that Michele likes it too!

Thank you for all your comments on my niece's birthday celebration and the cake! Maybe one day I will get around to reading the "Twilight" books so I can understand this craze too!
Happy stitches.....

    Both your finishing and your stitching look perfect, Karen. I need to try making a pinkeep very soon--the fact that you don't need a sewing machine really appeals to me!
