Anita's Stitching

I have begun stitching in 1978. For the last 10 years, my stitching has been with "smalls". I love to use beads and ribbons and always looking for new ways for finishing. My email addresses is anita@anitalittlestitches.com.

A French Pinkeep

This is by a French Designer, Tournicoton, Petite Pause. I changed a few things on the design and I added beads and finished it as a pinkeep. Here is a blog that has excellent illustration of how to make a pinkeep:


I have purchased quite a few pinkeeps over the last few months from various places, like Joann's fabric, Hobby Lobby and this ebay store (http://stores.ebay.com/The-Crafty-Elephant_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZQ2d33QQftidZ2QQtZkm).

here is the pinkeep:

What a darling pinkeep. You are getting to be so brilliant at this Ann! I am wishing that I had time to experiment with thsi sort of thing, but after June I will be ready. And hopefully I can get a lot of stitching done this Summer. I love your color choices too...this is very appealing to the eye. You do choose colors well for these pieces you create. Keep up the good work!
