ABC exchange for Cheryl

Finally...my partner in the ABC exchange, Cheryl, has received the parcel I sent. I was starting to get a little worried but all is well....she was on holidays & has been ill. So now I can share some pics. I stitched 4 parts for this exchange. All four parts were in the JCS Christmas ornament edition over various years. I'd always wanted to stitch the little alphabet pinkeep so this was my chance. I just didn't realise how tiny it was! To go with it, I stitched a fob, scissor sheath & needlecase. The finishing was quite easy and surprisingly fast. Here are the pics.




Now, for some close-ups. This is the front of the fob.

And here is the back

And finally, the tiny tiny pinkeep which I wanted to keep! Oh & it's my first ever pinkeep too!!



I'll be back tomorrow with some updated pics of my stitching plus a full account of my week on Norfolk.
