I'd love to attempt a biscornu, but I'd mess it up for sure.
You've made some stunning ones Kell.

Somehow I've missed this thread over the last few months. I saw the January biscornu and then missed the rest so I've enjoyed looking through all of them just now. I love them all, but I have to say April is my favourite. :wub: Can't wait to see May finished. They're going to make a gorgeous basket full at the end of the year.

Threadbear - I can personally vouch for how simple they are to put together - FAR simpler than they look. I'm not exactly brilliant at putting things together, so if this was in any way complicated, I can guarantee I'd have given up after the first one. GIve one a go - I can pretty much promise you'll be hooked immediately!

Here's where I finished up tonight - all the faces are now stitched and I just have to do the assembly tomorrow. :)

Well, it's all washed and drying so tomorrow I just have to cut the pieces and assemble and stuff the biscornu. Looking forward to it! :)
