Biscornu Freebie

This was my 1st design with my CS design program. I finally got around to stitching it and creating a Biscornu. I used leftover fabric and threads from previous projects. It's an allover design, but I chose to use colored fabric in place of the the purple color. I hope you like my gift to you. I'd love to see pics of your choices when you stitch it. Be sure to share this link with your friends.

Button Tree Series

My New Designs

I've been playing with my CS design program ( IStitch) for quite some time now.
I'm designing a series of Button Trees to have somewhere to display all those cute little buttons you find in the craft stores that you just have to have, but then realize there's no where to display them, and they end up getting lost in your stash.
So far I have done a Christmas Button Tree & Halloween Button Tree. Each tree is designed in full stitches and are sized to fit an 8x10 frame when stitched on 14/28ct fabric. But, don't stop there.....How about backing them with core board / cork board and switching out the buttons over time.....There are many different ways of finishing them, and I look forward to seeing how you decide to do yours.

Halloween Button Tree
Fabric: 1 of a kind 14ct fabric
( No Name)
DMC: 310
$5.50 US/Chart Only

Christmas Button Tree
Fabric: 28ct - It's Snowing
( Special Order)
DMC: 4045 & 869
$5.50 US / Chart Only
