For today's Finished for Friday, I'm sharing my latest cross stitch finishes. Remember that biscornu that I sewed together incorrectly and ended up with a pincushion instead? Technically, a biscornu is a pincushion but biscornus have eight sides (or more) and my pincushion only had four. Well, I also stitched up a biscornu using the same charts since my original plan was to make one. Here they are side by side:
I used a varigated floss, DMC 57, for everything but the strawberry stems. I really like how it goes from light to dark. Both of these are stitched on 14 ct Fiddler's or Fiddler's Lite.
You can find the charts for the biscornu by clicking the last two photos in this entry on Les loisirs d'une Sablaise.
Finished for Friday is hosted every week by Lit and Laundry and it's a fun way to show off what you've been working on for the past week.
Oh, these are so cute! I like them both- but I think I like the "wrong" one best.
