Now numbering seven

I decided over Thanksgiving that it had been forever since I'd had a finish (actually only the end of August) and that I needed to finish something. And since it looks like my goal of finishing Sleepy Hollow is a pipe dream I decided to stitch something small. And what is the single small finish that I have mastered?


Yep, another biscornu.


I stitched the #18 biscornu from Aurelle. The blog is French but the freebies are easy to find. The giant Index is your hint;)

I left out a few bits to make it fit onto the scrap of fabric I had.

It's on 32 count waterlily linen. The light pink/peach is Weeks Dye Works Peony and the dark is Crescent Colours Bandana. The beads are Mill Hill 40479. I went a little crazy with the beads and even stitched them to be oriented properly.


Start date October 10, 2010
Finish date October 11, 2010
Total time 7 hours

My collection as it now stands


Clockwise starting from the new one: #18, Bulgarian Motif, Baby Shamrock, my own puttering, Garden biscornu, Fall Dreams, and Love. And except for Baby Shamrock they're all freebies.
