I haven't read that particular one, although I've read a LOT of his earlier stuff (and his Bachman books etc). I was an avid reader some years ago, and he was one of my faves.
As for this project, I've made some more progress on the second panel, but I'm having some difficulty uploading to Photobucket, so can't post any pics at the moment.
EDIT : The project as of Saturday am
then an afternoon stitching, this was Saturday evening

Well I've just done almost 2 hours stitching to finish the second panel... it's great being able to bring small projects to work when it's quiet, cos I can basically get paid to stitch.
All I need now is to get some fibre filler from home, and stitch the two panels together.
EDIT : Just finished both panels tonight, Sat pm / Sun am
All these colours give such a wonderful effect! Well done. Now for the finish.

I'm hoping to at least make a start on stitching the two halves together tonight.
I'll have to order some of that fiber filler from fleabay too - I couldn't find any spare at home
*Pulling up magic bench and waiting for updates.* I have some tea and cofee in the thermos, has anyone go cookies to go with it?
No pressure, Dazboo

Did you find the biscornu hard to make?
If anything the colours are even more vibrant "in the flesh" I'm pleased with it, and considering doing a number of small themed ones as Xmas tree decorations.
The beginning of the first seam and the end of the last one were a little fiddly, but on the whole it was quite easy. I read thru the advice on this page before I started, but really it looks a lot more difficult than it is.
