How's that for a mysterious title??.... Well, I have a few finishes and no, I didn't stitch them all up TODAY..! I did however complete the stitching on one of them today and now that I have a "collection" of drum pinkeep finishes to do. I think I need to master that technique before I delve into finishing these lovelies..... Take a look....
I did complete the piece on the bottom today....so, let's review.... (sounding like a teacher??)
**********
A collaboration set with Little House Needleworks
32 ct Porcelain
Overdye thread pack which came kitted-
will be finished into a elongated drum....
The accompanying "A Stitchers Heart" by LHN will be the next stitch for me as they use the same threads and linen....Some of the softest color combination you will ever see...
*************
Stacy Nash Primitives
35 ct Straw
specified overdyes
I fell in love with this little fellow.....
I can see him pawing the ground as I reach for a treat....

Stacy Nash Primitives
32 ct natural
specified DMC threads
So.....I will more than likely practice on some homespun scraps until I feel comfortable tackling the actual stitched pieces... I would love to perfect this finish and add it to my "finish library" so I can actually finish for others.... Will keep you posted on my progress...
So, signing out for now....It is heavenly where I am right now and will be for a couple more weeks...
I'll let you take a guess....
Blessings my friends....

I love the colors!
Beautiful stitching and surroundings! Enjoy the time away.
Great stitches Faye! I'm sure you will perfect the finish very quickly:)

Faye your stitching is so beautiful. love the colours.
Thanks for sharing.
My heart is beating faster after reading this post! Such beautiful stitching!!! I was lucky enough to see a Stacy Nash trunk show last night and bought 6 new charts!!!!! I am going to be on a SN kick!!! Have a great weekend!
How soft and pretty, Faye--I'm sure your drum pinkeep finishes will be fabulous!
Oh, you must be at the beach--lucky girl! Enjoy :)
What lovely finishes! Let's see: where you are is maybe Sanibel? If so, pick up enough shells for a beautiful sailor's valentine!
Oh Faye! These are absolutely gorgeous! The colors and fabrics are so soft and pretty! And seeing as I have just recently bought those patterns, I look forward to see what your actual finishes. Such inspiration!
Lovely Faye! "Summer Gathering" is one of my favorites. You keep us posted on your pinkeep progress...I'm sure we can keep you busy!
Wow! They are all so lovely... can`t wait to see how you going to finish them!
I took a drum pinkeep class from Stacy Nash. They're not difficult at all and intended to be primitive - she generally stains her post stitching with walnut crystals. Fun! You're a beautiful finisher and I doubt that you'll have any problems at all.
Beautiful beautiful stitching - just my sort of designs xx
So many lovely finishes. Gentle Stitches is gorgeous.
Good luck with the pinkeep drum finishing.
Margaret
Beautiful stitches!!!

Beautiful pieces! I would love to do the lhn heart piece and companion bolster also.
You lucky girl, you must be at the beach!
I loved loved loved South Carolina when we were there last year on vacation.
Looks like you are someplace marvelous! Enjoy!
Beautiful designs! Why is it that one can see a design and think "pretty" and pass it by, then see it stitched and think, "what was I thinking, I have to order the pattern right now?" I'm off to shop. LOL! Thank you for the inspiration! Can't wait to see your finishes!
How many beautiful patterns! I can't choose the best!
Great finishes! What a coincidence, I've just assembled my first pin drum - it's a little fiddly, but not too difficult (just don't mistake a needle for a pin as I did...)
Beautiful stitches my friend
bisous
I love them all and am sure you will have that finish down pat in no time. Enjoy the beach!
Can't wait to see your finishes!!! All the pieces are just so pretty.
Beautiful drum pieces, FAye! The colors are really pretty.
Beautiful stitching!
I so admire those drums, so can't wait to see them finished
Take Care!
Beautiful finishes, Faye! I hope you enjoy your vacation!!!
I love Stacy Nash - Gorgeous work ;)
WONDERFUL!
I just finished 2 of Netty's pinkeep drums. They were gifts and I had deadlines so I dove right in. Not the easiest to do; but they turned out lovely. I will have to post on my blog. I haven't posted in over a year. I need to try again. Summer pinkeep is in my to do pile. Yours is lovely. Have a blessed Easter!
