Hi y'all,
Hope y'all are having a wonderful Friday. I would like to wish those of us who are celebrating Mother's Day an extra special day.
Thank you Rachel at The 10 Hour Stitcher for hosting this fun SAL.
The Front:
I don't always have a fully finished ffo but I did manage to get one done last month. The pattern is an old freebie and I am not sure where I got it from. I stitched it on 32ct White Chocolate Linen and DMC Coloris in States. I made the decorative counting pins and was very easy.
The Back:
I was doing a search and I noticed that people that sewed would make pincushions or sachets that resembled biscornus so I thought I would experiment. You wouldn't think it would be more difficult than hand-sewing but it was. I am still happy with it and would try it again but I would do it slightly different. I think next time I am going to do a basting stitch and then hand sew them together. I hope to try that technique over the summer and will let you know how it goes.
I hope you get lots of stitching time in and I will check back with you all at the end of the month for Mary's Smalls SAL 2019 hosted by Mary's Threads.
Thanks again for all the wonderful comments.
Mary
Your biscornu turned out super. I love the design you stitched up. Great looking thread! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful - I am getting more and more tempted to try a biscornu but I may wait for you to try your basting and hand stitching technique x
ReplyDeleteLovely finish! My daughter made me a fabric biscornu for Christmas a couple of years ago, but I never thought of doing part cross stitch and part fabric. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking part in this month's FFG SAL. I've never see a half-stitched half-fabric biscornu either but yours looks just as good as a fully stitched one. Hope you get good use out of it. :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I've also never seen a biscornu with fabric backing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful project Mary. Great work. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
