A Tiny Pinkeep for Mum
Yesterday was my Mum's birthday and if I have time I always like to try to stitch a little something I can give her with either her present or money. This year I've made her a tiny pinkeep. This is a little French design, 'Coeur D'Ange' by Miniatures D' Alphabets. The fabric is 32ct Belfast Vintage Antique White Linen and was stitched 1 over 1 with DMC 815. I thought I would have a try at doing a ruched ribbon trim around the pinkeep and was really pleased with how it turned out. Mum really loved it too!

I love your pinkeep, Carol. Great stitching and finishing.
I must say, that is the sweetest teeny pinkeep I have ever seen. I bet your mum was thrilled to bits!
Beautiful! Maroon is one of my favourite colours. I love the back as well, the material you picked out matches the design perfectly. Your Mom is a lucky lady to have a daughter like you stitching for her.
That is beautiful...I love over one! I love the trim, great job.
Happy birthday to your Mom. :)
