SAL Update and a Finish

This morning I received part 2 of the iStitch SAL. I just finished stitching it up!


I am really enjoying this and am very happy with my thread choice. It is kind of hard to pick threads sometimes when you don't know what you are stitching!


I have completed the finishing on my Peacock Pinkeep.



Purple Pinkeep
Blackbird Designs
28ct. Gingham Linen
Straw/Natural
Belle Soie Tortoise Shell and Purple Paradise
Date Started Stitching: August 11, 2011
Date Finished Stitching: August 13, 2011
Date Finishing Completed: August 20, 2011



I am anxiously awaiting the new Blackbird Designs book, "A Schoolgirl's Work Samplers from Museum of Art". It should be here tomorrow.

Have a great weekend and Happy Stitching!

Love your peacock pinkeep. You did a wonderful job. I also love the color choice on your Mystery Stitchalong. I struggled with the color as well but love my choice. I haven't quite finished part 2 but tomorrow is a new day.
Happy Stitching!
