A finish! Not the finish I planned on showing first this year, but it’s a finish. I love how this little biscornu turned out. I used a variegated thread on a 32-count fabric, stitching 2 over 2.
Part of the design was stitched on the reverse as well. There’s something immensely satisfying about making one of these. Stitching together the last 2 sides and seeing it really take shape is great fun!
And this is a sneak peak at what I’ve been working on. More of it is done than is shown here. I had started it with a different fabric for the little triangles, but that fabric somehow managed to blend with the other 3 fabrics so well that the star points didn’t show.
It looks like we’re definitely getting milder weather by week’s end. Getting out of the minus temperatures will be a treat. I’ve had a migraine for the past 2 days but it’s finally lifting.

The biscornu is fantastic! It looks like it is pretty labor intensive though, but wonderful results. Oh and how I just love your Kaffe project! The kitties look less than amused with the projects, but very regal.

That is a great use of the Kaffe fabrics. I think the kitties are both gold medal winners for posing so often for pictures.
