New Biscornu Pattern - FLOWER MEDLEY

Titled Flower Medley.
 

I have not stitched this pattern

yet. I have double checked

for errors - so let me know

if you find one so I can correct it.

The pattern can be stitched any

way that you like.

When I created Flower Medley

I had intentions of stitching all of the

flowers on top of small sequins.

However it is your decision if

you choose to use the medium size

or the big ones.

A sequin also goes in the center under

your pearl or crystal or whatever you

decide to use in the middle.

Add the sequins to both sides or'leave

them out.

Have a wonderful day stitching!

Many hugs & kisses sent your way,

A Log Cabin Dream

This pattern is called LOG CABIN DREAM.

I am

positive that all of you know this quilt pattern

as simply Log Cabin. .

Log Cabin Quilts are precious to us as they

symbolize our Home. So warm and loving.

So why not stitch one up!

 

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for your sweet comments and

concerns. They are truly appreciated!

And Thank you for following me.

Boy, when my eyes get better I will

have heaps of cross stitch work to

do!

 

Make a biscornu or a just a regular

pincushion. The choice is yours.

Log Cabin is adaptable to either.

And you can use the colors that I give or

use the colors that you choose.

 

THIS LOG CABIN PATTERN IS INTENDED

FOR USING UP ALL OF YOUR LEFTOVER

THREADS IN YOUR JARS!! For each block

just make sure that you stay in the same

color family.

 

FRONT

 

Back

 

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL

BEFORE YOU START.

6 cross-stitch blocks form the basis of the pattern.

The blocks are surrounded by 5 narrow strips

or bands around these blocks. The final large

outside strip is stitched with #3806 Lt Cyclamen Pink.

Then the narrow last strip is stitched in

black. Use black floss to stitch the front and

back together.

On the narrow strip with the white  that you see,

there are no symbols. I intended for this color

to be stitched in white.

As in a quilt all of the centers in each block

are stitched in red.

On each block beside the red centers your colors

should be stitched with the lighter color beside the

red and then graduate out with the medium and then

dark of that floss color.

FRONT: DMC 307, 310, 605, 604, 3801, 3846, 3845, 3844,

211, 210, 209, 3806, 3805, 3804, 3864, 3863, 3862, 3849, 3848,

3847, 3836, 3835, 3834, 3855, 3854, 3853, 157, 156, 155,

372, 371, 370, 415, 414, 413, 435, 434, 433, 445, 444, 504,

503, 502, 519, 518, 517, 761, 760, 758, 742, 741, 740,

A New Biscornu

Hello Everyone and welcome

to my blog. I hope that you enjoy your

visit with me today.

Please keep in mind that my eyes

are still not up to par and so

I am unable to stitch this up.

Several times I have went over

it and so far there are not

any mistakes. If you do find

one please let me know

so I can correct it.

Feel free to change the

colors to suit your taste. And

use whichever side you like

best for the front or the back.

I hope you like

PLAYFUL TULIPS!

Happy Stitching!

Thanks for visiting me.

A small halloween biscornu or scissor fobs

I am still unable to cross stitch.  So I

have not tested these patterns.

Here are 3

halloween patterns that are meant to be

used as a small biscornu or scissor fobs.

Use any 2 of them together to make a front

and a back.

Ghost Boo is either stitched on 14ct black aida or

linen - or you can use 14ct white aida and stitch

with black 310 DMC floss. I drew in a ghost

figure however I will be substituting it for a ghost button .

If you decide to use a button instead of this ghost

then be sure to mark the center of the aida fabric

with an x so you know where to put the button.

The same goes for the pumpkin and the spider patterns.

 I will also be substituting the pumpkin for a

pumpkin button

 the Spider will also be sutstituted with a button

but the spider web will remain.

These patterns are 30x30.

As you can see they are

not all that big.

Also I want to say that I have never included

directions on this blog on how to make a biscornu.

The reason is because there are so many

directions out there on the subject that I felt that

there was not any reason to duplicate any of it.

On my biscornu patterns the outer stitch that you

see is the stitch that connects front and back together.

That stitch is a running stitch - not a cross stitch.

I hope you enjoy these patterns.

Bees Patterns

I n a few days I will be seeing who won on the giveaway.

Just be patient with me - my eyes are blurry.

Here are the Bee Patterns.

I give to you first the back pattern.

This is the front pattern.

 For the sides of the bucket - I have numbered them.

This is Strip 1

 Strip 2

 Strip 3

 Strip 4 - just connect the pieces together if you are

making a long strip.

For the needlebook just stitch one or more of the bees. Use the

flowers and grass if you want to. Stitch this on to aida cloth

or linen or dont. The choice is yours on how you make it.

 I used a sunflower which was a coaster. You know

those things that you use under cups and glasses to protect

your furniture.

For the chatalaine take a strip of ribbon not to wide and

not to thin. I use about 30 inches in length. Stitch together

a little pincushion from felt and be sure to sew a ribbon in it.

Hem up one end of the ribbon but be sure to put the felt

pincushion ribbon inside before stitching it down. Go to the

other end of the chatalaine here you can either add one of those

key rings or use ribbon. This is to attach your scissors.

Fancy these up anyway that you like and be sure to add

charms on your chatalaines.

Have fun - conny



Happy Easter!

Purple Blooming Patterns

Well folks - here are the patterns for Purple

Blooming. If you notice on the first pattern one of the

stems on the one long tulip is not connected. It

is intentionally to be left like that. I wanted the

stem to appear like it was broke.  I did try other colors

but they either looked loud or to subdued. The color Purple

just looks like it belongs with this pattern. Enjoy.

Happiness is patterns

I almost forgot to post these patterns.

Sorry aboout that! I have been so busy.
The front pattern shows the yellow

floss on white 14ct aida. All I did was

to reverse the floss & aida colors.

I like the simpleness of it - and I hope

that you do also.

Would love to see some photos or

at least know that you are

stitching them. You dont have to

stitch these patterns into

biscornu's! They would look great

stitched onto boxes or made into

sweet little pillows. Enjoy the patterns!

'Baskets of Hearts'

Here is the pattern. Enjoy!

by Hopblogger

Hopefully this works!

So sorry about that - I dont know what happened.

If this doesnt work - then let me know.

by Hopblogger

Here are the patterns

for Grandma's Afghans, front & back.

The front & back are meant to be 2 separate

patterns. Their colors do not have to match.

You can totally ignore my colors or make

up your own. However I do like the use of black on the

front. The back pattern that I offer here is different

than mine. Mine is more haphazard with the use of

some floss scraps. Your design will

be more orderly even when you use floss pieces.

If you do not use floss scraps then try to incorporate

more colors in the design. The back colors will pop! -

with the use of more color.

I hope you stitch this one!

How Does Your Garden Gro

Here are some additional pics. Sorry that the last posting

about this biscornu was so short. I have been

preoccupied with the next biscornu pattern - so I forgot

to tell you that the the scissor fob is just 2 velvetten flowers

sewn together back to back with a piece of ribbon in between.

It only took about 5 minutes to construct. The other is a

matching needle minder. Also I am so sorry that I dont

have a pattern for this biscornu.It left my house before

I could copy it. But if you enlarge the pics you will be able

to see the pattern in order to stitch it. Also I would like to

apologize if the pics are not in order - as I am having trouble

with my computer. This biscornu is much more striking

when you see it in person. I hope all of you are stitching up

my biscornu's! Enjoy

Hello my Friends...

I am sorry that I am late in posting

this pattern . My intentions were to

show it to you last week but I wasnt finished

with it. It's name is 'Light up my life'. If you get

started on it now - it should take you about 2 days from

the beginning to the ending. Remember when you do these

Biscornu's - stuff them hard until you cannot get any more

stuffing inside. I use alot of stuffing. Maybe this could be a last

minute STOCKING STUFFER.

Merry Christmas & may God Bless you all!

by Hopblogger

As promised

here are the patterns for Trip Around The World

& Irish Chain. These Biscornu's get so addictive that

I just cant stop making them. These quilt patterns

lend themselves very well to christmas colors.

Enjoy.

Merry Christmas!

by Hopblogger

Another Biscornu

that I do hope you like.

The first pattern (front) is called

'Trip Around The World'. The second

pattern (back) is called

'Irish Chain'. Both are quilt patterns.

So yes - you can quilt!

Pattern is coming soon.

Here are the patterns

for Heart of the Rose and Rose Fields.

My initial intention for this biscornu was

to make it lacy & to call it lacy rose. However after

many months of bad attempts I could not get it to

look like I wanted it to. So my idea was abandoned.

This was the best that I

could come up with. Once I saw that it created a

heart, hence the name change to the Heart of the Rose.

You will notice on Rose Fields that there

isnt any green. That is because I decided at the

last moment to add the green while I was stitching.

There isnt any pattern for adding the green X's.

Just add them randomly or to all of the little roses

as I did. The choice is yours. I also do not mind

if you change the colors.

by Hopblogger

Stitch it up this week!

Here is the 'Buttons Forever' patterns.

The colors used for the front green side are DMC

#913 Nile Green & DMC #334 Baby Blue. This

Baby Blue color is used on both sides.

Colors used for the back or brown side are

DMC #938 Coffee Brown.

Feel free to change the colors.

Have fun.

Flower Medley. Use any color that you wish.

July's Butterfly Biscornu

is called Phantom Butterfly. I made it to be stitched in only
one color. Stitch it in DMC 3864
Mocha Beige. Its body is DMC 310 Black.

The design area is 2.36in X 2.36in.
Stitches are 33X33.

The colors are to stimulate that something
is on the white aida cloth.
The butterflies are different on the back. This should
give 2 different looks when stitched, I hope. Do not forget
to stitch the little guys antenna's or their tail strings!
I have not stitched any of this Butterfly yet as I do not
have any time cause my 'BIRTHDAY' is this thursday.
If you stitch it, I would love to see your photo's.

As always this pattern is copyrighted by me.

These patterns print large. To copy this design first save

to your hardrive and then print it.
by Hopblogger

Found it.

The Butterfly Biscornu pattern wouldnt attach to my blog for

some reason. So after many days of trying, eventually

I had to take a photo of it. Its a little blurry but it is here.

The design area is 3.71inX3.71. Stitches are 62X62. Colors used

are DMC 553 Violet and 310 Black.

Would love to see your photos and post them on my blog.
