Biscornus Pincushions

This model is from the book "La Passions des Biscornus". The two were one biscornu but I made 2 separate cushions.  I found the Biscornu model HERE FREE.

This was made with 40 count cream linen 1/2 DMC 498, 817 & 317. I used some antique buttons and made a flower from ric rac ribbon.

This biscornu was stitched on 32 count flax 2/2 DMC 317 & 318 and antique pearl buttons.

This pincushion I made with scrap fabrics using a tin can of mined clams. The tin was deeper then a tuna can. I used a piece of felt around the can with fabric over it using a glue stick and added lace and antique pearl button.

Atalie Biscornu

This biscornu is a pattern by Atalie "October 2007". I found it HERE on the net. There are also many other biscornu patterns there.
I changed the colors to DMC 930, 931 & 932 on 32 count Sand linen.  This is the first time I ever did embroidery work. I hope it came out right. I also added small beads on the bottom, a Swarovski Crystal on the bottom instead of a button and an antique button for the the top.
I am pretty happy with the results.

Alphabet Biscornu

I made this cute Alphabet Biscornu using 36 count beige linen & DMC 815. Some clear white beads and antique pearl buttons to top it off.
I also finished a scissor case and fob to match. Scissor Case pattern is from Mamilou.

The pattern for the biscornu is in my free patterns page if you want to do one.

Exchange from Linen and Small Crosses

My package arrived from France last night. All I can say is wow. Celine, you do really good work.
Celine makes these gorgeous pouches with all of these pockets. I can not hold a candle to her. She even made me a pattern to make one of these beauties.
I sew not straight and cut my fabric not straight. One day I will have to take classes.

I also made a biscornu from a Marie Suarez book.

Strawberry Biscornu

This is my strawberry biscornu that I stitched onto 28 count Monaco linen. I used 2 different shades of red from a DMC Sampler pack that I had and a green variations. I added some gold seed beads and for the seeds in the strawberries I used gold tinsel thread. This is my first biscornu and the only one I did so far and it came out off. I think I was 1 stitch off where it made the one side collapse. I plan on doing another in the future because I have so many biscornu patterns and a biscornu french book. It just takes so long to do one little pin cushion.
