I used a piece of hand dyed linen called Haunted, by Picture This Plus on 28ct Cashel linen
stitching one over one for the pincushion. To attach the mini stars to the linen, I used one
strand of the over dyed linen and whipped it around several time to hide the brass hole.
As you can see, this design doesn’t necessary need to be a pin cushion.
The larger piece used the same linen, haunted by Picture this Plus, but on 36count linen.
It was stitched over two threads using two strands of DMC and it still achieves a rich look.

Here are three examples of "The Three Wise Men" stitched in different sizes.
Starting from the left, "The Three Wise Men", was stitched on 40ct linen one over one measuring 3" square.
The center framed piece was stitched by Joey Behne on 28ct Aida two over two which measures 9" square.
To the right Barbara Bukauskus stitched the design on 28ct Lugana evenweave one over one which measures approximately 4.1/3" square.
Thank you so much to two talented stitchers Joey and Barbara!!
