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!!

This is my latest design, Tree with Heart:


You will find the chart on my web page.

I just posted this little freebie on my blog

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

Some more trying my skills.



the same motif in a biscornu pattern:



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.

My very first try at making a chart. I hope there's nothing (too) wrong with it...



Colors are DMC

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

I have made these three bookmarks. You will find the patterns on my webpage.



Happy stitching!

Here is the bookmark I designed and made for my MIL. Feel free to use this pattern!

A few more designs for you:

Clan Stewart Motto Bookmark (which can be adapted to any Clan's colours and mottos on request)


Tri-Face Floral


Time For Tea Miniature


Tea - Drink of the Gods Miniature Sampler

A set of four miniature seasonal blackwork band samplers:



And the four of them together as one, long band sampler (which I think would also work well as a bookmark, which is how I intend to finish it):


The Spring one was published on my Kincavel Krosses blog today and the rest will be released every other day over the next week.

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!

Thanks so much for posting the design!

Found myself inspired this morning. This one is for all the fans of Terry Pratchett's Discworld:



Anyone who's read any of the Discworld novels will know that Granny Weatherwax wears a sign saying this when she goes "borrowing".
