I just had to try my hand at a biscornu after seeing so many lovely ones. It was alot of fun. I'm not sure my corners are as good as they should be, but I'll enjoy using it. I hope I put enough stuffing in. Thanks to everyone for the inspiration.

Looks lovely becareful you will get hooked on these LOL I did!!carolyn

I think you have done a great job. I have just DL the design and I think I am also going to try.

They are fun and it looks really nice.

You don't know how happy this makes me feel to see that someone else has made one of these. I thought this idea had past the interesting stage. Love the colours. Martine should also be pleased you have made use of her design. Lyn

I wasn't going to say, but as others are giving you hints, may I say that I would have put a little more wadding in it to make it tight and also do as Chris has suggested. Lyn

Thanks! I will try that.

This is really pretty Patsy love the colour combination. Love Chris

P.S. If you want your corners more pointy just put more stuffing in and use the end of your tweezers to push the point out sharply. Ask me how I know???

Thanks! I will try that next time. I want to make one for my friend.

This is lovely, love that you used grenn as the back groud colour!

This is lovely but I don't know what a biscornu is. I love the blue flowers and speaking of flowers here is one for you.

Biscornu is a French adjective that means "that which has an irregular form, with projections" or "complicated and bizarre." They are usually 8 sided, but I have seen more sides, pincushions. My first one was a pillow a friends father made for me in 1983.

This is gorgeous, it is in my favourite colours, and the pearl is really pretty too

The pearl is a pearl button. I just happen to have several. Thanks to everyone for the lovely comments and the advice.

Patsy, this is lovely and I love the pearl, too.

Beautiful! Love the colors and the pearl. I need to get going and make one of these for my own...my "to do list" keeps getting longer every time I see what everyone on here is doing! LOL *4all

Again a pretty one! I love the pearl in the middle!!!! Well done!

Lovely colours and the pearl in the middle is a nice change from a button!
