Description:

I've been wistfully watching all the Biscornu swaps pass by, mostly because I just don't want to do cross-stitch embroidery right now, but I want one! So I hope others out there will join me in making non-cross-stitched biscornus.
They should be made from at least 3" squares of beautiful fabric. You can:

*embroider on them, BUT NO CROSS STITCH--there are plenty of cross stitch biscornu swaps out there.
*applique little shapes or *tie-dye the fabric, *hand paint with fabric paints, or * just use small pieces of that wonderful expensive tapestry/upholstery fabric that many stores will cut a three inch square "sample" of for you!

The border of backstitching seems to make the whole assembly part easier, so don't forget that!

~~ One biscornu for one lucky partner! ~~

What are "Biscornus" you ask? They're odd little pin cushions made by stitching together two squares of fabric but in a skewed way: Check out this site

and this one

Newbies are welcome with well-filled profiles. Rated swappers must have at least 4.9 and no no-sends


FLAKING IS BAD! Emergencies happen, we all understand that, but good communication is necessary if this happens. I cannot angel this swap, so you are on your own with your partner and the angels of Swap-bot if flaking happens.

If anyone wants to do this swap Internationally, feel free to use any of my text here- I just can't afford the postage for anything but small flats out of the US.
