During our meet in February we chated a little and June and I declared we've never made a biscornu before and I told June I admired Emily trying it out so soon after embarking on cross-stitch (BTW Emily is a fantabulous crocheter!). Emily mentioned that she has since given away the biscornu, so I figured then and there, that's what I'll stitch for Emily.
So here's my first attempt at a biscornu (definitely won't be my last). Let me tell you it is E.A.S.Y, it just looks difficult. Focus on Finishing is a good place to start for links to biscornu tutorials.

How can I forget Diyana. Tatter extraordinaire! And at such a young age. Tatting such lovely pieces that put me to shame :p She is of course Emily's wonderful daughter. In order to nurture her talent I thought a tatting pouch would be useful. So I stitched a lined bag for Diyana to carry her current WIP! I added jade polymer clay beads to the ribbon made by yours truly :)

BJ, They are absolutely the most wonderful stitched gifts I have received todate! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
ReplyDeleteExtremely pretty, no wonder our Emily is pleased.
ReplyDeleteOk, ok, the pouch is Diyana's and so is the packet of cookies... sigh.
ReplyDeleteI am sure Diyana's gonna jump with joy when she sees what you had stitched for her. She just mentioned the other day at MW' LD, that she had received so many gifts from various craft meetups! that she dont mind following me around afterall! LOL, She's been spoilt rotten by all of you!
