Just fabulous! I found a poppy pattern and I can't wait to make it. I belong to the American Legion Auxiliary and poppies are extremely important for our Veterans. I will post it when I finish. Can't thank you enough Nicole for this SAL. I want to make a bunch and get so excited when I find a square pattern. You have created a biscornu frenzy!!!

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

thank you!

[@ebriggs3498]

I’m so glad the the USA adopted the British practice of wearing red poppies to honor our fallen in battle!

[@monique9072]

Love it, the colors, the shape, just love

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

thank you!

[@susanspratling]

I hated missing the live finish, as I had company. So glad I could catch it after. Thank you so much Nichol!

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

thank you!

[@melissaleonard1817]

Just finished mine today. I’m so happy with it. I would have never tried to make one had it not been for your videos.

[@kathyharris7158]

Thanks for showing how to stitch the biscornu together. I haven’t tried to stitch one because I wondered how the points all came together. Very clear instructions. Thanks again.

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

thank you!

[@carolebeu7821]

I had no desire to make a biscornu until I watched your tutorial. Now I do want to make some. Thank you!

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

thank you! have fun stitching one!

[@patriciaboyd9492]

Spring is all abuzz with all the bees pollinating all the flowers. But it will soon be Halloween and I love stitching all the autumn charts including Halloween.

[@sandysandberg8250]

Another fantastic tutorial! I watched it via replay as yesterday was hubby’s birthday. Nichol, you truly have a gift for teaching. I haven’t started stitching my biscornu yet, just finished last year’s flossiversary stitch. That is one of the things I love- you can watch the tutorials even a year later and it is just as helpful as the day you posted it. Thank you so much for all you do!! I love everything you make! Excited for Christmas in July Sal!!

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

thank you for your kinds words!

I love them & have bought all of her Basket patterns as well! Honestly! You've opened the door showing us how you can use many patterns making them into a Biscornu! Your finishing tutorial was the best finish I've ever seen! 🥳🎉 I feel like I have to say Thank you to Cathy Habberman for creating these beautiful Basket patterns & your creativity making them into Biscornus!! You're both truly amazing! Thank you for all the time you take out of your day to help all of us! Take care! ❤️❤️

Hi Nichol! I absolutely love these Biscornus!! This fall Biscornu is GEORGOUES!! Your tutorial on how to finish these is perfectly helpful!! I'm also making some & boy are they ever addicting!! I love how you took Cathy Habberman's Basket patterns & made them into a Biscornu! I just love this idea. So many patterns you can use & do just as you have done! Thank you Nichol for all the time you take to make these tutorials for all of us!! Teresa Kogut has two BEAUTIFUL Biscornu patterns in her Harvest Friendship Booklet! They are gorgeous too! So many ideas just thinking out of the box right! Thank you again! 🥰

When I start a project I always tie a piece of floss on the top. lol, I learned the hard way to do this.

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

such a great tip!

Hello Lovelies from CA. I am sad. I misplaced my bottom of my biscornu that I was working on this Mother's Day at my Mom's house! Eeeeek😮

[@KayeTaylorE]

Just started stitching by first biscornu so I very excited to finish and try to sew it together. Can I use a button with a shank or is it better to use a flat button? Glad I found your tutorial.

[@susiesonnier9102]

Thumbs up 👍

[@christinadanko6288]

❤❤❤

[@robinelliott8287]

Great job! I think I’m ready to try it! Do you use a regular needle or cross stitch needle to sew together?

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

thank you! I used a cross stitch needle!

[@pamelasoper6448]

Is the lizard litter the same as the crushed walnuts??

[@robertacaruthers7568]

Just a thought: as the backstitching becomes a decorative element, could one use a slightly heavier thread (pearl cotton?) which might make grasping those threads (without also the linen) a little easier?

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

that's a good suggestion!

[@beatricerussell7707]

Do you use 1 strand if the cloth is 36 or 40 count?

[@cathycosier7870]

Can you make a biscornu with Aida?

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

yes!

[@katieslench2498]

Can a biscornu be made with Lugana fabric?

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

you can, however the stiffness of Aida or linen makes assembly of the biscornu a bit easier. hope that helps!
