Here are the two finished Biscornus. I've done another design today and have been sewing them all up. Haven't put a button on the third one. Love Chris


1. The top two are by Martine (mops) can be bought from Yoriko's site - mygardened.com.au.
The third one is from Sewforum.

Thanks Caroline, I've decided to remove the buttons as per Sue's suggestion. I was a bit hesitant when putting them on and they just sit better without the buttons. Love Chris

Lovely, Chris. I admire the themes and beautiful projects you come up with every year.
Seeing them I'd love to design a few more, but then I have to test them of course and my box of pincushions has so many in them already ...

Wow they all look lovely...great job Chris :)
Does it have to be a cross stitch design for biscornu or its just preferred so that its not dense?

You can use any design that has interesting corners, filled, redwork, not just cross stitch. Have a look at http://youembroidery.com/19432_fu... It is a 3-colour line art one I posted in YouEmbroidery. I posted a few different ones there as well.

pennifold by pennifold 18 Mar 2015

Hi Fatima, no as Martine has said, they don't have to be done in Cross-stitch. I've done some others in line-work too. Any equilateral design would work just as well. Love Chris

spendlove by spendlove 18 Mar 2015

I've done them in all kinds of design.

tfk by tfk 18 Mar 2015

Thanks a lot all you lovely ladies :)
Will try and find the best suitable design from my stash for a biscornu!

Yes, mine too. It so well digitised. I was really disappointed by the lower one on the Brother machine (which is underneath). The Husqvarna sewed it out much better! Love Chris
