Hello all,
Just a short little update regarding the Friendly Stitcher's Spring Biscornu exchange. My partner has received the one I made for her and so I can post a pic of it...we do love to show off our work, no matter how simple!
I have a love - hate relationship with biscornus...the darn things are just adorable and look great piled up in a basket or laid across a shelf. But finishing them up makes me bonkers! My sides rarely ever match up and when they do it just pure chance! Are you a love 'em or hate 'em person when it comes to biscornus, or sort of in between like me?
This design uses color variegated silk thread from Dinky-Dyes but I separated the themes and used several skeins of DMC cotton. I filled the hearts with blackwork...I do believe that the blackwork finishes the piece off. Oh, and I added a few beads. Its on light yellow 14 count Aida and filled with polyester stuffing. A little dragonfly button pulls it all together. It really is a very different piece than what was portrayed on design. I enjoy changing things a bit but I changed this one a lot....even the back is different. The original design was published in The Gift of Stitching, Issue 60, Jan/Feb 2011 and designed by Patrizia Martellini of The Cute Mermaid Designs. I really enjoyed stitching it.
That's it, folks. Wishing all a week of stitching successes!! Hugs, Chris.
