Biscornu


The last pincushion, I really must do something else.

They all fit a 4x4 hoop.
I stitched a treble stitch on my sewing machine along the edge (forgot to digitise that) and used a whip stitch through those stitches to sew the two parts together.
The material is linen and I used 40 wt polyester for the embroidery. There is a slight mistake in the pattern, but it is symmetrical.

I really love this. Like you I enjoy making these but how many does one person need, but would love to stitch this one if and when available.

Do you have this design for sale somewhere? I looked on here and didn't see it. The cross-stitch is so elegant. Thank you for sharing your talents.

Martine this is the most superb Biscornu I've ever seen. It reminds me of the old antique style ornaments. Kudos to you, love and blessings Chris

That is very pretty, so eye catching, funny how we just love these little things. They are like little treasures I think.

Thanks, it so nice to have a blank canvas and start playing. In 5D you can place 3 lines of symmetry - actually 4, but the diagonals are set as one- which makes it fast and fun.

That beats using a mirror!
