My first biscornu

Here it is.  My first biscornu pin cushion. 

 It is a lily of the valley design which I found on the net.  Try as I may, it has been difficult finding the designer.  The first time I saw the pattern chart was on Pinterest and it directed me to a Russian site which looked like a blog and didn't indicate whether they had designed it or not.

My hand is in the picture to give you a sense of scale. 

The fabric is ecru even weave 30 or 32 count.  

The beads are size 8 (which I think are a bit big and messy lookin').

The most important lesson for me was to use fabric that contrasts with all your thread choices.  You can hardly see the flowers.  I used one strand of DMC cotton for everything except the yellow border which runs alongside the beads.  I will go for smaller beads next time too.  Also think I will go to 25 count fabric, as this was a bit challenging for my crappy eyesight.  And there will be a next time.!  This was fun to make.  And so simple to put together.  There are some good tutorials such as Suzanne Day's https://feltmagnet.com/textiles-sewing/How-To-Make-A-Biscornu

Can you find the flowers??

The yellow border is too close to the green curly swirls too. I should have

left a line.  All in all it was a good little project.

The end...
