Kell's Floral biscornu!! It is such a beautiful design and I think it's the prettiest one I've ever seen!! I'm not very happy with my finishing on this, unfortunately - so I'm going to do another one, in different colours and see if I can make a better job of it.
I only started this yesterday and could have finished it yesterday, but Mark wanted dinner and you know what men are like without food!!

I made some Easter egg patterns. Perhaps someone will like them.

I am sure it would look lovely with other colours as well.

Here is a pair-chart for the geometric one I made before, I made the two up into a biscornu.

My newest attempt. I know someone who loves these colours

Thanks, Kell!
My sis wants an easy pattern but something she will use thinking of showing her this....how did you fray your edges?
I have been feeling really low these days so I decided I need something to cheer me up. I have stitched a small gift bag with the saying "Smile and the world smiles back at you" before, bu then I was using a small free pattern with it. Now, I decided to make my own, and develop it into a sampler-style thing.
I really would love to know your opinion of it. Thanks.

A mini blackwork biscornu, if it can be called a biscornu at all, since it doesn't have sharp corners, rather wavy edges. The arrows show how to match the sides: green arrow with the gree, re with the red.
See the stitched version in the Minis thread.

Oh, and another one, a really coourful geometric pattern. I think it would look good with different shades of the same colour, two

Here are my newest attempts. I used a circle as a basis and first designed some geometric patterns and them some more flowing ones. I hope someone out there will like them. I am planning to stitch some of them on a strip of fabric and use it, perhaps, for decorating a shelf. But it's just a vague idea yet.
This is a good one to play around with different colours or variegated threads, I think.
Then two variations of the same pattern:
The flower:
The bird:
And the violets:

I used part of Kell's design to make a thank you card for my boyfriend's mother (she came to visit on our ski season and treated us to lots of lovely meals etc). LOVE the way it turned out!
