The biscornu I’ve seen on various blogs have absolutely fascinated me and then, when I found a pattern that gives very detailed instructions on making them, I was hooked! I’m stitching this on 32-count Irish linen with DMC variegated thread and hope to have the stitching done in the next day or two and then go about putting it together.
Over the last week or so, I’ve not been too good at responding to comments on my blog or, for that matter, commenting on the blogs I read. Work was so intense over the past couple of weeks that everything else seemed to get away from me. Hopefully I can remedy that this week.
Smudge had a bit of an adventure Sunday. I looked over at one point and he was sitting on the desk Mr. Quilt Obsession has his computer on, behind the computer.
Then he appeared to be peeking around to look at the screen:
His fascination with the computer went on for about 20 minutes. Then a little time was spent on the windowsill watching for kitty entertainment. And then he was just so tired out that he had to rest. The pose completely cracks me up.

Biscornus fascinate me – they're so pretty to look at (and great to use, I'm sure) but the construction and all those angles intimidates me – I can't wait to see yours finished :)Smudge looks like he's spent a rough night being a naughty boy about town, lol – what a ham!

I had never heard of nor seen a biscornu before your posting–how odd! Not sure I need another addiction, but there are some beautiful examples out there!
