Pinkeep Novembre and the Collection

Today I put the finish on the last pinkeep of the Pinkeep SAL that was given by Maryse this year. I present to you the pinkeep for the Month of November.

I stitched this lovely design on 32 count English Rose linen with the recommended DMC threads. The satin ribbon trim is a muted pinkish red, and the pearl head pins are bright pink. I used green velveteen for the backing fabric.

The collection includes ten pinkeeps. And, here they are.

I still need to find a nice basket or wood tray, but you get the idea. I'm going to miss doing this SAL. Guess I'll have to gather some small designs so I can keep making them. You can never have too many!

Happy weekend!

These pinkeeps are beautiful Nancy and you have done a wonderful job in the stitching and finishing, all so different. I wonder what she will have next year. I still put my little houses out each month, that she done a couple of years back.

Nancy, Love Gretchen in her Halloween costumes!! Way too cute.

Your Santa SAL is coming along very nicely, I do like this last one with the Snowman.

Now for your pinkeeps - what a wonderful job you have done. As for a tray - Pier 1 has what looks like a nice tray for about $20.00 - check it out.
