Biscornu Exchange

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. It’s been busy around here. The photo above shows how I spent my weekend. On Saturday, we went to see Wicked, which was amazing. We bought tickets before we got married actually, so this has been a long wait! On Sunday, we went to the museum to see their exhibit of Japanese paintings. What I loved about the paintings, was the way they were mounted onto silk. I may have to take inspiration from that and do a wall-hanging of a stitched piece.

Anyway, the big news is that Pam has received the biscornu I stitched for the exchange on the Friends Gather BB!

I stitched a freebie called Manuela’s Sunflowers by Chatelaine Designs. The design called for gold beads and gold Kreinik, but I liked the yellow beads instead and left off the Kreinik. I used my Silkweaver Lemon Zest fabric for the bottom. I love the way it turned out, being my first biscornu, and I’m so glad Pam liked it too!

I also sent Pam LHN’s Spring Violets and some of the threads to stitch it. I’m so glad for another successful exchange!

I am grateful for fun exchanges with other stitchers.

    So would you recommend seeing Wicked? DF and I will be in NYC in August for our honeymoon and it’s one of the shows I considered (because you have to see a Broadway show when you’re in NYC).

    I love how these Martina Weber designs make up into Biscornus…they are perfect!

    I bet Wicked and your Japanese Art Show was a really good time!

  15. Lovely stitching, Michelle. I think that is the first Manuela’s Sunflowers I’ve seen stitched. Very pretty. I like the way the button looks like the centre of the sunflower. A gorgeous finish.

  17. Oh Wow! I love your sunflower biscornu!
    Your JN 12 Days is very nice. I’m trying to stitch on something I already have in my stash and use up the banding I have. I have it in the green and red colors you saw and in white, but its a stark hospital white and I’m sure it wouldn’t work. So, even though I do love yours, I’m going to behave and not go buy something more and just stitch it on what I’ve got. Besides, as you know I’m buying pattern and fabric for the new Rosewood Manor pattern and shop hop is next Friday.

    Since stitching my first biscornu recently, I’ve become an uber fan of them, lol. I just think they are the BEST thing and love seeing what everyone does with them. I just can’t get enough of them.

    Yours is just amazing! I love that sunflower pattern and I bet Pam was thrilled with it!
