Birthday Gifts from Outi!

A package arrived on Friday for me from Outi. I opened it and saw a Silkweaver plastic bag with yummy fabric in it, but Outi put a note on the outside that there was something tucked inside the fabric and I could choose whether or not to wait for my birthday to open it. I held off opening it… until Sunday night. In a moment of weakness, I opened the bag, pulled out the fabric and unwrapped the most gorgeous, tiny biscornu I have every seen! The funny thing, Outi, is that I’ve been meaning to make one for myself on this scale, just to have one that teeny and to see how it would turn out. And here you’ve already done it for me!
Outi said that she chose the fabric named Starry Sky and the floss from Polstitches named Love and Laughter just for me. Isn’t she sweet? [Edited to add: Outi says that she hand-dyed the fabric herself!] It’s stitched over one, too. It’s absolutely fabulous! Not to mention that the fabric that she sent is beautiful, as well. It’s a nice warm, neutral color that will go well with several designs that I can think of. Maybe I’ll stitch a dragon on it in your honor, Outi. 😉






Please take a moment to click for a better look at the beautiful biscornu. She even put a star button on it! And I put the pen in to give you a reference on the size.
Thank you so much, my lovely Finnish friend!
BIG hugs to you from across the ocean. 🙂

    “Starry Sky” is hand-dyed by certain $ME, so it’s very unique fabric. 😉

    Very cute biscornu! I made one about this small (sans button in middle) before I knew what they were called – I attached a cord on mine for a Christmas ornament.
