I participated in a Pinkeep Exchange with the Prairie Schooler group and received this beautiful Pinkeep from Anna. I had requested a Fall/Halloween design so this is truly perfect. Anna stitched this on 40 count Lakeside Linen (a real favorite of mine!) using WDW and Gast Threads and she used Gloriana silk ribbon on the finishing. Anna, you did an amazing job on the stitching/finishing of this Pinkeep; it is gorgeous, and I shall treasure it!
Prairie Schooler Pinkeep
Stitched by Anna
Anna also included some fun fiber trim, a bead container and a very tiny pincushion that is adorable. I often make “smalls” so I can appreciate the work that went into this. Thank you for such a wonderful exchange.
PS Pinkeep Exchange
Anna mailed her package from Norway and I am sorry to say that she encountered a problem when mailing. I am very happy that her exchange did not get lost and that it arrived safely at my house.
I have seen this award on a number of blogs and, thanks to Paula,I am able to post it on my blog. I appreciate the nomination Paula, and please know that the feeling is mutual. Blogging has certainly changed the learning landscape. We all seem to have that innate desire to express ourselves in significant ways to create, to learn, and to share. I am thankful for all of the amazing “stitching” blogs and find it impossible to select just five so I must bestow this award on each of you. I would also like to thank you all for inspiring me with your outstanding creativity
I will leave you with pictures of the latest visitors to my backyard feeders.
AND A CLOSE UP... 
I hope that your weekend brings endless hours of creative stitching!
Until next time...

That's a very nice exchange! Marie, what is that critter above the rabbit picture? I don't think I've even seen one of those before.

Hi there,

Fantastic pinkeep.
The squirrel visits you so much that he is almost a member of the family. You might have to claim him as a dependent on your taxes.
That's a beautiful pinkeep!
Hi Marie,
I've been thinking of you this week. Your pictures of critters inspired me to put up a bird feeder in the backyard. I really enjoyed sitting with my coffee this morning just observing the birds.
The pinkeep Anna made is really lovely. I also saw the ornament that you did for Staci. AMAZING!
Definitely a wonderful pinkeep. Love that wild turkey picture. He's cute in an ugly sorta way.
What a pinkeep! Such a lovely design and great finish. I love the backyard photos too, even though I have no idea what this lovely critter is :)
Have you figured out what he is? My first guess is a woodchuck, but I'm not really certain! Beautiful visitors to your feeders!
I love your pinkeep!
What a great exchange!
