Halloween Biscornu Exchange - Signing up deadline - 6th Aug

[starchild202]

I don't think I can give up my pet lobster. He loves to stitch too. I am so sorry.

Seriously though, thank you Shin! If you need any help please let me know! You are wonderful my dear!

[Shin]

Glad I'm not organising this one

Thanks Mags...

Bit of a challenge for me though.

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

Oh I didn't mean it in that sense, this is my first time hosting anything and I am welcome to a challenge always.

First time hosting an exchange myself! I wonder if I should ask about mailing preferences for mine... To my knowledge mailing a bookmark anywhere in the world should cost about the same... Oh well, I know you are doing a fantastic job hosting the Halloween Biscornu exchange.

Anything flat like an ATC or a bookmark should not be a problem at all. I put my country prefrence down because biscornu are puffy and that seems to send the postal service around her balistic.

Thanks for letting me know, Linda.

[pixxie]

slightly stupid question, but does it have to be a regular 8 sided biscornu or can it be more?

Pixxie

[kell]

I'll be starting work on mine this evening.

[Jaki :)]

Started stitching mine, done 1 side so far dreading the making it up bit tho never tried 1 before so hope it's easy

[kell]

Domn't worry, Jaki - it's a LOT easier than you'd expect (otherwise I wouldn't have become hooked on them - LOL!).

[Shin]

slightly stupid question, but does it have to be a regular 8 sided biscornu or can it be more?

Pixxie

It's only an average size biscornu (3 1/2" x 3 1/2") so only 2 sided.

I think anymore would be costy for postage.

I have only made a mini biscornu before but can you make a multiple sided biscornu with these dimensions?

[pixxie]

[kell]

Started stitching this evening and made good progress, but I won't have any more stitching time till Thursday now as I'll be working Monday - Wednesday - grrrrrr! Why can't I just get paid to stay home and do as I please?

[Shin]

I wish I can do the same thing Kell.

[Cytrix]

Can't wait to get started on this...but first I really need to design my biscornu!

[XandraS]

I had decided not to join anymore exchanges until we moved back home to Liverpool, but with a October 1st posting date I'll be back so I'm in.

Started stitching the second side tonight.

Pixxie

OMG what do you mean... can it be more? & there I was scared of the 8 sided 1 * praying that no more sides get added lol *

done both sides of mine just waiting to stitch on the initial/ name of the receiver then the making up bit

[Shin]

I think it's best to leave it two sided.

I haven't even thought about my design yet...how bad am I...being the host of this exchange. I don't think I will be able to think about it until September as I have so much to do in August.

Oh, shall we keep this a secret aswell? I think we need to vote.

I don't mind either way.
