With the permission of Martine, I did a little changing of the flower in the biscornu. I am doing this for a friend's birthday, and it was going to be violets. I also tried to do a hand edge around to accent the edges. That took me all afternoon - hand stitiching is not my forte. But, I do like the outcome, and will be do a couple other items with the design to add to the gift.

Do you have any software? If so then you can probably change it up some. That is what I did. I picked out a violet I had in my stash, and edited it to Martine's design - with her permission.

When you find a site with patterns that are the right size you can make these pincushions. Quilt Blocks can be adapted. Lyn

Great idea, Lyn - thanks for the suggestion. I bet I have some that will work.
