Book Description/Synopsis:
Quick, cute and fun to
do, Bobbie Watts' beautiful biscornu can teach the embroiderer a whole range of
needlecraft skills. This amazing little eight-sided pillow gets its name from a
French word meaning "quirky." It can be used as a pincushion,
ornament, scissor fob, sachet or just about anything you can think to do with a
tiny cushion. A basic biscornu is composed of two fabric squares that are
stacked with the top square askew, and then sewn together. Step-by-step
instructions, photographs and charts will guide you through the variety of
embroidery techniques and embellishments that Bobbie used for her 9 designs:
Renaissance, Bright Gem, Orange Gem, Rosebuds, Green Garden ,
Blue Pearls, Stripes of Pink, Crimson Flower and Variegated Lattice.
