Xmas Biscornu Exchange 2010 (Sign up CLOSED - Post list up!)

[starchild202]

Just FYI if it is not possible for me to ship to the US or Canada, I am okay with that.

[Newfie Princess]

Please count me in. This is my first exchange and I am very excited. I've been stitching for a while but I have never participated in an exchange or even joined a forum. I am from Canada and would like to exchange with another country please.

[Newfie Princess]

oh, and I have something very yummy for my guest!!!

I would love to take part but as I haven't made one before I want to see how it turns out before I sign up! I'll make a start on it this week

That's what I'm doing, never made one either! So if I don't get it done by November 15, then I won't take part. I think that's the rule for everyone. Good luck with yours!

[maggs]

I have fineshed my first biscornu, I am quiet pleased with it if I say so myself.

I haave started, one half is done and the other is half-done. But don't have much stitching time these days.

[tiffstitch]

I'm getting there too! Mostly done stitching the halves, just deciding on backing fabric. I was thinking of using the iron-on fabric I'd used before, has anyone used that with biscornus? I was thinking it might be quicker in case time gets away from me.

[agi]

I have never used backing fabric for biscornus.

[tookie]

Backing fabric for biscornus looks really nice. Here are some examples:
from here

and from here

[kell]

Neither have I.

[pixxie]

wow! they look amazing

[maggs]

Didn't use it on mine, although some sites say to use it to give more interest to your stitching.

[agi]

They are lovely! Never thought of it, I always use two stitched pieces. But this might be an interesting new experiment
