Ok, I suppose we need to have a deadline for signing up if people want to personalise their biscornus. What about next Friday (6th August)? That give another week for people to sign up and then 2 months to make the biscornu.

I just want to highlight that my house is smoke free even though we are smokers. When I stitch I don't even think of smoking (I am a light smoker) so I am normally showered and in my pjs before starting any stitching so all my pieces are smoke free. I also have a wee Yorkie who is in the same room as me when I stitch but he is normally in his bed and we keep his hair cut very short and he doesn't cast. :wink:

Just finished putting together my design for the front of the biscornu (I pinched a basic motif from a book and added a few little bits). Just got to stitch the bookmark for the other exchange, then I can get started on this one. Still busy deciding what fabric to use...

I really hope not :(
Other exchanges I've taken part in also ask if people have concerns about smoking/pets cause of the allergies issue. If you need any help I'll happily step up.

And from the looks of things, most of us are non-smokers anyway, and very few have allergies to pets :)
