A Biscornu and an Award

I heard that Rochelle has received the biscornu I made for her for the Tiny Treasures Exchange, and I'm so glad she likes it~~ After I mailed it out I remembered that I forgot to put down an e-mail or my blogger page in the note, and I hope I didn't cause Rochelle too much trouble to find a way to contact me...

I choose a traditional Bulgarian motif I found on the web to stitch for the biscornu, and choose blue and greed threads for the main part cause I know that's Rochelle's favorite colors, and added a punch of orange for the flowers. I also stitched our initials and year on the back. It took me a while to find a perfect button, but I think this one really goes with the whole design~

Pattern: Traditional Bulgarian Motif
Thread: DMC cotton floss
Fabric: 28ct antique white evenweave fabric
Size: 2.5" x 2.5"
Finishing Date: 03-05-2009

This is my very first try making a biscornu, and I have to say I was a bit nervous when I first started it. But at the end it was so much fun and I was really happy when I saw the finished product~ Even my DH Dr. Sam was quite impressed with this little one!! I can see many more biscornus to come in the future~

  2. What a darling biscornu! I love it and you're brave. I still can't bring the courage to try making one!

    BTW, I finished The Other Boleyn Girl tonight. It's fantastic! I highly recommend and you should check it out once you get your card. I've already checked out the sequel. Will probably take me two months to read. These books are huge!
