Hey, is anyone keeping track of the sent and received list? Doesn't look like people have been actively updating the list, although I could be wrong... :thinks:

Really enjoyed going through this thread and seeing all the biscornus. I'd love to give this technique a go too... last time I tried to make a biscornu, my sides were un-even and I ended up having to unstitch and re-do the stitching as an ornament just so I didn't waste it! :oops:

I expect we have all been there and done that. And these tiny biscornu were fiddly for the first timers and old hands alike, and well worth the effort.

I think there is a groundswell towards another biscornu exchange, so watch this space.

Heheh I think this time around if I am lucky enough to take part in the next exchange, I want to be fairly comfortable doing them!

Would hate to do a not so nice gift for my recipient.

MUST PRACTICE! :shock:

No worries! I actually suspected that it would take quite a while for the biscornu to reach me considering we are practically on opposite ends of the world in terms of delivery routes (Australia/Canada). I do like it very much. Btw, will you be putting up pictures of the biscornu or should I?

If it's not with you by the end of the week, Grub, let me know and I'll send out another one - I'll start making it tomorrow so it's ready to go. I'm really annoyed about the fact you haven't had it yet - stupid postal people...
I will let you know as soon as i get home as i am not home yet,i hope it is home wating for me in the letter box.
