PIF for Joanne

Received news from Joanne who is on my PIF list that she received from me. I made her a pinkeep in a similar fabric color from an exchange at HoE Biscornu whom Joanne was my partner. It gave me the idea to give Joanne a matching pinkeep. Am so glad she likes the idea too. Thank you Joanne !


I've mailed 2 out of my 4 PIFs. After weeks and months of pondering...LOL.... I've decided that I will not do similar pieces or design for all my PIFs. Am currently working on my 3rd piece . I will reveal individually why or how I made my choice and hopefully accepted by my receipients.


Next, twice a month SAL progress of my Garden Fairies with Aw

I did not work much on this as I decided to work on the backstitches on the section that is done.


Why ? my fear that if I leave the back stitches for last, I might never get it done! LOL. Its tedious and I never like doing back stitches especially more that need to color change and with metallics threads.

Beautiful pinkeep, and how lucky for Joanne to get a 'matching' set!

Aw said...

lovely pinkeep. I did not have progress report for the Garden Fairy, but will post the pic later, as I want to make up the lost hour of stitching during past one week. It is good to have this SAL at least make myself move
