As promised here is the border pattern for the 15 sided biscornu motif sampler. Although I have not yet stitched my sampler, I am anxious to get started. Over the next few weeks, I will first have to finish sewing 7 pillows. I had put these on hold because of my 15-sided biscornu addiction as well as the final preparations for the Getaway and NeedleWorkers MarketPlace.
Once I do start my sampler I want to use Thread Gatherer's SNC 258, Sidewalk Chalk, for my hand-dyed silk, and although I have not yet decided on my solid DMC colours I do know, that I want to use 2 strands when backstitching the solid colour in the border.
This photo is of Monika's sampler. She cross-stitched hers 2 over 2 with Gloriana's hand-dyed silk #050, Blue Grass on 28ct Platinum Cashel Linen. She did all her backstitching using 1 strand. She also did not stitch her motifs in the exact order as indicated on the Motif Layout. Click here for the chart of the border.
Over the next 3 weeks I will post the final two motifs as well as a full alphabet for the final square. Have a great weekend. See you next Friday.
You are amazingly good to us! Can't wait to get started on these.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to starting this but need to finish 2 15-sided biscornus first.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathrin! I will miss seeing you at the stitching show in PA this fall, now that they are no more! Someone sent me to your blog and I'm glad they did! How did I not know about the 15-sided biscornu? I love it, and much thanks! I may also use some of the motifs on my monthly biscornu series of tiny biscornu to wear on a necklace (check my blog for pics). I just love the little things! --Kathy (Kathryn with a "y"!)
