My First Biscournu (Tuffet or 8 point pincushion)

This was such an enjoyable project. My first biscournu, which is a pincushion that has eight sides...yes, 8 . It's a really enjoyable stitch, lots of fun pulling patterns to use for this, and also doing some over one stitching on the rose motifs, the initials are from a free pattern that I had and the main pattern of roses on the front is also a free pattern. It is edged with 400 petite beads btw, which took a long time to stitch, but they do really look pretty on this piece. If you click on the image, it will enlage so you can see the beads. I used Carrie's Threads for the first time and loved using them as well. Such lovely colors and I mean her whole line of threads are just wonderful. Enjoy the pictures! I plan to stitch another one like this for myself with my initials and possibly a different verse besides Remember 2006 and my name. Not sure what I will do yet, but pics will follow for you to see when I have the second one stitched. For now, enjoy seeing this one. Til I have more to share...have a great day! Cathy
