The English Sampler Pincushion by The Nostalgic Needle

Size: 60w x 83h

I began stitching this pincushion on my vacation trip to London. It is a first for me to stitch something by Sharon Cohen. I love her intricate designs. In addition to the traditional cross stitch, this one utilized long armed cross stitch, queen stitch, tent stitch, satin stitch, upright gobelin stitch, and eyelet over 4. The final one simply amazing. The most difficult part is the tent stitch over one on the Celtic knots. Way too tiny! I used DMC and 32 ct Dirty linen.
