Patchwork Pinkeep was a kit offered as part of the Silver Needle A Little Help from our friends club. Since I am not a member, I really never expected to stitch it but a stitching friend sent me the kit as a gift.
I chose to stitch it on 28ct cream Monaco rather than the included linen as I do not like stitching on linen. I did use the recommended threads. The piece was stitched in honor of my husband’s maternal grandparents. I included their names, birthdate (both were born in 1848) and the date they were married. The finished size is a little too big for a small pillow so may frame it for him.

I framed this one and gave it to my step-daughter as a gift for living with us for nine months and helping in the care of her father for the last year of his life.
