Well, they say every things bigger in Texas but even here i have not seen that large a biscornu. You won't have any trouble finding your pins.

It is so pretty, too bad they don't use hat pins anymore, that would be great for that...I'm sure you will find a good use for it.

Carolyn, Looking at this photo, I can't really see how you have sewn it up. Looks as though you have been very generous with the wadding. Will find a link on how to sew up a biscornu. Hugs, Lyn

What about a 15 sided biscornu. http://www.gittas.com/FreeStuff/Instructions/15_sided_biscornu_finishing.pdf
by bumblebee 28 Aug 2011
The 15 sided one is amazing-way to hard for me.
by mops 28 Aug 2011
The 15 sided one looks fantastic and not to difficult to make. Are you going to try it out? It is a lovely collection of tiny designs, could be done with machine embroidery of course, but this looks lovely. I wonder how big the squares are, at a guess some 4 cm (there are 20 cross stitches on each side, 5 crosses per cm). Which (roughly) would make a 10 x 10 cm biscornu, a nice generous size.
by bumblebee 28 Aug 2011
Lyn would be the one to do it- her biscornus
are beautiful.

I see you have your purples going. Very Nice.
Tonite I was sewing out napkin rings and after rinsing they looked like grape soda- I panicked looking all over to see if I had the right thread
and as it dried it was okay. Colors sure look different when wet.
Hugs,
Linda

that sounded a bit abrupt i sould have added i have never seen one of these before hence my question....soozie
by bumblebee 28 Aug 2011
I believe they are fancy pincushions. Lyn
below has made some gorgeous ones and shared in projects here at cuties and that's how I found out what they are.

So sorry Carolyn but I found this quite funny. The design is beautiful but what you will use it for is any ones guess. It would make a wonderful babies toy if the stitching is safe. Hugs Sarah.

by mops 29 Aug 2011
Lyn gave this link: http://www.suebox.com/classic_lace_collection.php
And there have been quite a few in Projects, made by Lyn.
I love the concept and digitised a few.
by noah 29 Aug 2011
I never heard that word either till Lyn shoed us a few months ago lol
by bevintex 29 Aug 2011
Neither had I, i thought it was something you eat! Pass the butter for my biscornu.
by roslyn 30 Aug 2011
