Thanks to Martine for the inspiration to do these wonderful Biscornus. I made one on Friday and finished the hand sewing over the weekend. I didn't have any fibrefill and used a wool wadding, don't like it as much as the fibrefill so will use that with the next ones. The design is from Martine and you can buy it from Yoriko's - mygardened.com embroidery site here in Australia. Thanks for looking, love Chris

looks great Chris, not unlike my hand-embr. one. I like to use it but find if the embroidery is too thick, the pins are difficult to get out. I have 3 and one is only used for needles because of the heavy embroidery. The redwork one is my favourite.

I too love the red fabric one. I'm wanting to make a few of these for my ladies luncheon. I've got a few other designs for them too. Love Chris

Hi Shirley, this is a good one to do as the pattern has equal parts right around the design. So when you do the other side you can match it up easily! Love Chris

That's beautiful, Chris! Love this type of cross stitch design. What did you sew on top, is it a button?
