Have finished the 3 Biscornu. It is a beautiful pattern with just a few simple changes to the designs. The photo doesn't do them justice as I am not a good photographer. Lyn

I bought bulk buttons and found it very hard to find just 2 that matched on the top and bottom. One of my friends said it wouldn't matter as you can only look at one side at a time. L

These are beautiful and I, too, decided that I have to give this one a try. Good luck with the market and I am sure that these will be a hit.

I was a little frightened of these, but loved this pattern so much I just had to have it. Then I got into making one and found it so easy. Now I have 3 and have another pattern which I will stitch out today.

Very pretty. What size do they finish off to, since I can't tell from the picture?

They are 4.5 inches in diameter x 1.5 inches deep. Most on the web are done with cross stitch but I now have two different patterns for my machine. L

These are beautiful!!. I am guessing there is some hand stitching. are these squares that are turned 90 degrees from each other? Just trying to understand them. You did a GREAT job!!!!!
1 comment
by mi30kaja 01 Mar 2011
If you look at my picture above. The pink line is actually the edge of each square and this is where you hand stitch them together. You start by joining the corner edge of one square to the center edge of the other square. This makes the angles. Hope this is clear. Lyn

Good morning Lyn,

These are just so quaint. They remind me of the olden days when ladies used to sew and embroider as part of their day. Just SUPERB! I hope you get lots of money for these at your Craft sales days.

Love Chris

I like to have lots of different things on my stall. Crafty people always stop and have a chat. You can see them looking, taking in ideas as they chat. Love to know how many go home to make something the same. Thank You Chris.

The one you purchased from Stitch Delight was it from the Pincushions? If so I stitched it last night but it will have to wait for a few days before I can put it together. Not happy with my colours. The orange is too strong. Realised I also have that Boot pincushion so that I must do soon. Lyn

You say you are not a good photographer but they look so good in your photo that I went and bought the design myself. I dont do that often. The only downside is I dont know when I will get it sewn out. So thanks again for showing us your work

When I finish a project I am too impatient to get it up into projects and most times that is at night when the light is not great for photos.

Yes they do take time. I find it takes more time to set up then each colour change, but Hey look what you finish up with. I am doing a green on green one as I write this. L

These are gorgeous. I saw this the other day and googled biscornu to see what it was, and found a site 'the floss box' with cross stitch patterns on it. Now I havn't hand stitched in years, but I've just spent a few days in bed sick, so between sleeping I've cross-stitched myself one out. It kept me in bed and not bored!

I have bought some of the patterns from The Floss Box. Especially the ones with Owls and Penguins. I am often asked for these at Markets. Hope you are feeling better. Will you put it in Projects. Please do. Lyn
