Firstly, thank you (enabler) Jamie, it's true - some of the best things are at others' blogs!So before this goes off to its new home (my Mother-in-law's); here's a pic of a HD. I nearly forgot to take it!
I have taken a pic of the fabric I dyed too, after I ironed it, and then promptly folded it to tuck away clean and safe. Wasn't that smart? *sigh. Next time, pic before the fold.
And speaking of fabric. I ordered from Silkweaver on the 13th. Payment (paypal) went through the 16th. Still no fabric, so I'd say it's a definite to send what I made. Oh I hope she likes it. The ends aren't finished off like they would be from Silkweaver. Still too chicken (and busy) to mess around with my fear of the sewing machine.
And what is the typical/preferred size of a biscornu? I have made a pattern and need to decide what count to stitch on. This is my first bicornu. Anyone?
*************
And on a completely different topic. I had a 4 foot wide and maybe 3 foot high snowbank directly behind my van in the driveway. So much so my van stuck out and took up more room than usual in the driveway. In one day, the snowbank is no more. But the yard is under some serious water. Canoe anyone?

I prefer them between 3'' and 4'', though it's just a personal preference.
Your stitching looks great! I havent made a biscornu before so can't help out there-sorry!
I'm working on my first biscornu and I think it will be 3.5" square but I have no idea how it will turn out.... good luck!
I have my first pattern for my first biscornu - but I haven't prepped to start it yet.
I'm thinking 28ct or 32ct might be nice for a biscornu - although ami's bitty baby biscornus are super cute and that would require a higher count fabric. Maybe you want to start with around the 4" size?
Yay! You did a great job on the Campbell's Kids for your MIL. Congrats on the finish! I've done biscornus of all sizes, but I agree with Outi that between 3" and 4" is good. She's the mistress of biscornus, you know. ;)
on http://aurelle.over-blog.com/ you will find many freebie biscornus if you like (under freebies). Ann.
