I hope everyone has had a great couple of weeks with tons of stitching time. I have been stitching everyday but only have one FFO to show you today. That is ok, hopefully I will have more done in August.
Before I forget, thank you Rachel at the Ten Hour Stitcher for hosting this SAL. It really does motivate me to fully finish my stitched pieces.
So, I was going through my collection of hand-dyed floss and decided I wanted to make something with them. When you only have a skein or two, biscornu's are a great way to use them up. I found the perfect pattern here on Louison's blog. She is so generous and has hundreds of free biscornu patterns. I chose #332 and I stitched it on 25ct white Lugana (3 over 2).
Side 1:
I am not sure of the color but it is Mo's Sales Thread. I only had one skein so I had to improvise on side 2.
Side 2:
I found some DMC #67 in variegated Baby Blue. It is a great match to the Mo's Sales Thread. For the middle I used a brad (from the Scrapbook section) instead of a button.
Well, I am off to do some errands and then hopefully some stitching later. Unfortunately, I have to rip out some thread and redo a section because the hoop messed up my stitches. I guess that is why I normally stitch in hand. Oh well, it was worth a try.
Hope you have a fabulous day!
Mary
beautiful stitching!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous biscornu, and a great idea! I usually only have one skein of a variegated or hand dyed thread too, and this wonderful way to use them :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in Mary! Your biscornu is beautiful. The pattern shows off the pastel colours really well. This is something I really should try, given that I also have variegated threads I don't know what to do with! :)
