I managed to sew up my version of the Victoria Sampler Spring Biscornu last night and snapped some good (at least, I think they’re good) pictures of them outside this morning. The colors are actually fairly accurate, which makes me exceedingly happy because these subtle colors would have been easily washed out and lost. Thea created a beautiful design, as always. It’s funny because, when she first announced the contest in late February, I thought that the May entry deadline seemed silly because it was so far out. Little did I know that I would barely make it!
I didn’t have buttons of the right size and color combination to be able to use on this one, but I did have large Swarovski bicones that seemed to fit the bill. The backing fabric isn’t quite right, either, but it’s hard to have enough colors on hand to work for every project. I did the best I could with what I had. And that will just have to be good enough. 🙂
I think the backing fabrics work very well!
VERY beautiful, Jenna!
It’s beautiful, Jenna! Love your excellent work on those hardanger filling stitches!
