Some time back, one of my Facebook page readers commented that she was stitching a Biscornu. The word peaked my interest, and I had a fast appearance online to discover out more about what a Biscornu really was.
< br/ >< br/ > I learnt that these little pillows are not only incredibly fun making, but they’ re also rather easy to sew up. Biscornu is a French word which initially implies ‘odd’, or ‘irregular’. It refers to the 8 sided little pincushion which you will have the ability to sew easily with the directions in this file!
The design for this pattern was motivated by Quaker designs. After having actually bought a Quaker sampler from 1795, I have actually been really interested in this type of embroidery. This design is a reflection on the pure and geometric patterns found on classic samplers, and features components from the natural world.
< br/ > A Quaker Biscornu is 65 stitches wide and high. Sewn on a 32-count linen over two it would measure around 4 1/8 by 4 1/8 inches (10.5 by 10.5 cm).
< br/ > I stitch all my designs using Just Shaker and Sampler Threads by The Gentle Art. I stitched this design in Schoolhouse Red (7052), on 32 count Belfast linen (colour: Natural), by Zweigart. Both thread and linen are readily available in my Etsy store. If you do not see a particular colour of linen or thread offered, do not hesitate to obtain in touch, and I can see if I can purchase it for you. I stitch with just one thread, as it provides the work a somewhat open character.
