The Two Corner Pincushion takes two motifs from a beautiful 17th-century Frisian sampler from my personal collection. The back of this booklet shows a detail of the two corners. Though I probably won’t chart the original sampler any time soon, I thought those two motifs definitely deserved charting.
TECHNICAL DETAILS:
This design has a stitched surface (including the backstitch outline) measuring 96 crosses wide by 48 crosses high, and 1548 crosses and backstitches in total. You can finish your pinkeep in any way you see fit: I like to finish mine by folding the two sides (right side out) and whipping together the backstitches that surround the design. Please see the graph below for size and floss estimates. Floss estimates are based on working with two pulled strands (14 – 18-count Aida or 28 – 36-count linen) or one strand (20-count Aida / 40-count linen and higher). It is, of course, up to you how many strands you want to use for your project.
To personalise your pinkeep, you can use the alphabet and number chart included in the design. As this is a monochrome design, you may stitch it with whatever colour (or colours) you wish. If you want to approach the cover’s look, I recommend the following Roxy Floss Co. flosses and linens (all exclusively available at www.evertote.ca in Canada). I stitched my pinkeep using “Chalkboard”. The linen is very close to “Biscuit”. As Roxy Floss Co. offers a wide range of colours, I recommend browsing the Evertote website to see what truly speaks to you.
