Biscornu Revealed!

Woohoo! At least one of my special packages has arrived at its destination and very quickly, at that! Zohrah in Singapore received her biscornu is record time – less than 1 week. That means I can now reveal my photos. These are just the thumbnails, so click on each one for the full photo, if you’re interested. The personalization didn’t turn out as nicely as I had planned, but I stitched it on the fly instead of planning ahead. There will be other opportunities to get it right. Otherwise, though, I’m very pleased with the pincushion. I was sorely tempted to keep it for myself! 😆 I think that’s the hallmark of a great exchange piece, though. I can’t wait to make some more of these lovelies. I think I’ll have a biscornu basket like some women have these wonderful needleroll baskets. Biscornus are for me, baby!

    Hey Jenna – it’s beautiful! I didn’t join this exchange because I was too afraid to try the finishing technique. But I sure love the final product! Zohrah was very lucky to receive yours!

    Hi GF:

    The biscornu you stitched is lovely. The colors are excellent choices for the design.

    What a smashing exchange. I can see why you would like to keep it for yourself. Are you serious about starting a ‘basket of biscornu’? Sounds like a fantastic plan to display your treasures
