Been working so much extra lately that there has hardly been time for stitching, have managed a little bit more on my Sleepy Hollow Sampler though and I'm slowly but surely stitching up a biscornu for my mum.

Image


The pattern for the biscornu is by Jo from Polstitches, it was in the 200th issue of Cross Stitch Collection. I'm stitching on 32 count Lakeside Linen (stormy skies I think) using Anchor 1310 as they are the kind of pastel colors my mum wanted :)

Image

I've also started my Tree of Stitches, but will give it it's own thread :D

:applesauce: Beautiful. The sampler looks like so much fun to do and the biscornu is so delicate. I love the fabric too.
