how about a christnas biscornu exchange?

[dominique66]

I love biscornus but I joined the forum too late for joining the halloween exchange.... would any one be interested in a christmas exchange.....

[kell]

Yes. I'd be up for that, but I could only afford to send to a UK address as I'm taking part in quite a few exchanges around this time. I just can't resist a biscornu exchange!

[KerryT]

I've never done a biscornu but this sounds like a great reason to try !

[agi]

I like the idea!

[Jaki :)]

Count me in too

Dominique, if you copy and paste the list into your first post as it gets updated, and then also add any details for how you want to run it (final sign-up date, posting date, any dimensions or specifics, etc), folks will be able to find all the info quickly and easily.

Looking forward to it.

This sounds great!!
I'm already getting ideas! Though I must admit I've never made a biscornu before, though I'm definitely keen to try

When is the final sign up date for this exchange? Not sure that I can join yet. Around Christmas I get busy stitching gifts for friends and family sssooo just need to have a think about this first.

p.s. have to add would just rather do a Christmas ornament exchange, and not be tied down to how it is finished, just as long as it is finished. If anyone does decide to run that exchange, I'll definitely be in. I'm just finding that with biscornus, I'm very fussy about the lighting before I do the final "make up into biscornu."

[mags]

Sorry but having thought about this, I have decided not to participate this time after all, owing to other things I need to do.

I can't wait for this to start, I've designed mine already (to a certain extent as we don't have rules and regulations on this yet). Any ideas when this will get off the ground?

[dominique66]

well, maybe we can close this exchange on the 15th of october and we can send the biscornu as soon as we are finished and with a deadline of the 20th of december....what do you all think? It is not very long to stitch a biscornu and I am soon starting mine. On the 15th of october I can organise us in pair and we can message eachothers our addresses.....

[dominique66]

Zeb, I am not sure about a christmas ornement as I myself love biscornus and would love to receive one...... maybe one of the others does not mind . or if you are definite about not doing a biscornu try to start an ornement exchange thread but we would love to count you on!

[Zeb]

Don't worry about me Dominique, I'll figure something out

Although as someone whose experienced this in the past, can I suggest an earlier final receive date?

Just aware that in some countries, they go to strict/limited services from the 1st of December as thats when they start getting heavy loads through. So setting the final receive date to say, the 10th of December means that people won't be leaving things to the last minute, and then run the risk of their recipient not receiving it by the 25th (especially since you've got people living in different countries around the world.)

[Zeb]

I think after the bookmark exchange, I won't be taking part in any more for a while.

[dominique66]

Good idea Zeb! shall we put the 10th as a sending date....

[pixxie]
