Description:

Several of us on the Purple stitching board have been fascinated with Biscornus [or is the plural of Biscornu, biscornii?] and we thought a swap would be a great incentive to make one or two. So, here's the deal - you will have two partners, and cross stitch a biscornu for each one - they're small and light to post, so shouldn't cost a lot. There are so many freebie charts around that you'll be spoiled for choice, so making two will make the choosing easier ;)

Please make sure your profile is up to date, so your partner has some ideas of your likes and dislikes.

If you do this again, I'd love to know. I'm too booked now. Lovely idea.

My calendar is full right now. Gosh, I hope I get another chance. This is right up my alley.

Denise, I've never made one - very much a beginners swap, but they do look like fun don't they ;)

Hi, i didn't even know what a biscornus is... but now i have to try my hand on it. if you are looking for a Biscornus pattern take a look here: http://own-two-hands.livejournal.com/4186.html or here: http://ishsuth.wordpress.com/links/freebie-patterns/biscornu/

Wow! Thank you, Filoselle, for sharing this link! http://own-two-hands.livejournal.com/4186.html I've been considering making one of these but had no idea what to do. That site explains it pretty well. :)

Must get back over to purple again. Have fun on this exchange, I can't wait to see what you make.

I'd join in, but just don't have the time at the moment.

I haven't time for this one right now, so I hope you do it again. Those look like a lot of fun.

I have sent my Biscornu's today,but there is a postal strike in the uk tomorrow,So next week they will probably arrive at their destinations!

I sent my Biscornu on Friday. I hope they don't take too long as I sent them airmail.. Can't wait to see everyone's pictures. There are so many freebies on line it was hard to choose just two. I would certainly do another exchange again as they are so fast and easy to do. Hope everyone enjoyed it. Linda

This was a lot of fun! They are a little fiddly but not hard, so I'd certainly be in if another swap started!

johannauk 07/ 5/2007 #

I really, really enjoyed making the biscornus, hope my partners will like them! :) I would be up for another swap, I can see this new 'discovery' becoming quite addictive!

I received mine from Raelou. So pretty. I enjoyed the swap also, just one more to recieve, can't wait.
Just think how pretty they will be as Christmas ornies, just leave out the button and put in a cord and "Bob's yer uncle", a great Christmas ornament.

Linda 07/ 6/2007 #

Sorry about that Picture in the gallery, I don't know what happened.

Rachael 07/ 7/2007 #

I received both mine this morning ,they are both so pretty :)

Linda 07/12/2007 #

I received my final biscornu from monkeycat (Kim) in the Netherlands. It is lovely. I am very pleased with this exchange, beautiful work everyone.

Linda 07/16/2007 #

I have received no information about the second one I sent. Does the recipient have it yet?? Could you please let me know if it got there? thankyou

monkeycat 07/18/2007 #

This swap was so great, are we planning a second go?

johannauk 07/21/2007 #

Hi - while I am not swap co-ordinator, I can say that yes, we are planning another swap...most of us are members of either Stitch Clubs (http://www.stitchclubs.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi) or Purple Cross Stitch (http://www.new.purplexstitch.co.uk/cgi-bin/index.cgi) - so details will be posted when the swap is ready...it will probably be a public swap so should be easy to find on here anyway. At the moment, we are thinking probably a Christmas ornament biscornu :)
