I actually completed stitching this lovely Quaker Four Corners Sampler by The Goode Huswife design quite sometime ago also I ran out if OWS English Quaker Rose as I stitched this design on 28ct linen. When I got another skein of the thread, there was a slight difference in the shade. I had one corner bottom left slightly darker than the rest.
When I saw KarenV post on her pincushion finishing, perhaps I should try to have this one finished just like hers. As pretty and neat as KarenV’s maybe?
But actually I want to do this as a sewing pocket. It’s just too big for a pinkeep.

Your Quaker Sampler is really pretty Aniza! I only just had enough thread for the Quaker medallions (I used a full skein of WDW Beehive on 32ct) and I used different threads for the alphabet. Looking forward to seeing how you finish this – glad you liked mine

Hi, Thanks for the link! And I really like how your Quaker turned out with the slightly mismatched thread … it’s very unique and, at least to me, makes it look more authentic. Your stitching is lovely as well!
