I finished a cross stitched biscornu.
I found the free pattern for the cross stitch and many others at a blog called Cross Stitch Happy.
I looked at a lot of different websites on how to assemble a biscornu.
I stuffed mine with small pieces of batting I cut up even smaller.
I wanted to use a bead in the center but could not find my beading needles (I didn't look very hard) so used little buttons for the centers on top and bottom.
Now I think I will start work on another biscornu.
And sew on...

So pretty!
You do cross stitching too? Yikes. You are pretty prolific and talented!
Surprise to me too! I didn't know that you cross-stitched! What a pretty project! Merry Christmas! :)
That's a fun little thing, Cathy! I like the shape of it - not sure how you make that shape, though. I'll have to check the site you linked to. Wishing you and the family a peaceful and restful Christmas.
Very pretty! Enjoy your stitching!
I love it. Well done, Cathy. Wishing you the best for Christmas day. May it be pleasant and uneventful. Peace to both of you. ;^)
I always liked the look of those Biscornu pincushions. You are lucky that you can still see well enough to do that. Did you use regular embroidery floss? I would like to try one of those simply because I would love to have one. My eyes aren't what they used to be before cataract surgery and my lighting is poor. Hope your Christmas is a lot better than mine. I am currently isolating in a bedroom at my sister's as I tested positive for Covid this morning. Bah humbug!
Beautiful stitching! Enjoy using it. Merry Christmas.
You did a beautiful job on your biscornu. I had never seen that before. It went together perfectly and your stitching is beautiful.
I use amaranthus seeds to fill my pinchushions. They add a lovely weight and feel and remind me of the filling used in beanie babies. I buy mine from the health food store.
