CQ Biscornus

I read a message yesterday morning about making a biscornu out of patch blocks. I had to try it, as I do not know of anyone who has made them. I made the two below, the larger one is 3" and the smaller one is 2.5". Not too difficult, except getting the edges stitched correctly.

Toilet Paper Dolls

I saw these on a web site and loved them. I made one for a fiend's vacation trailer, and one for mysef. Had to adjust the pattern, as I didn't find the right size dolls.

Bottle Cap Pin Cushions

I made so many of these little pin cushions. I still have a bag full of them. I glued these down on a piece of lace on top of a silver candle stand.

A Simple Embroidery in layers

Before I knew about Brazilion Embroidery, I made this little piece. All of the motifs were first done in stem stitch, and then they were covered by another stitch.

Embroidery

I got the pattern for this from Doe.c.doe. It is stitched on "silk essence" from JoAnn's Fabric store. I used some Neat DMC threads that I have had for years. Don't remember what they were called.
