My First Biscornu!

As a new member of the 2009 Christmas Challenge, I wanted to make a special first ornament. I hoped to make a pendiboulle, but it didn't work out so I made a biscornu shape (also my first). As you all know by now, I love to design stars. So I made this one to color coordinate for Valentines Day - lots of pink and red.

VOTE FOR A STAR! The most popular one will be made available FREE OF CHARGE for everyone to use. Just leave a comment at the bottom of this post. Of course, you can use the colors of your choice.

This is the first time I am making any of my many stars available to the public by blog. I have created thousands of designs (all copyrighted, of course) for The Americana Stars Memorial and I really enjoy the process. People say to me "Doreen, don't you get bored having to stitch so many stars for so many years?" Well, I have help. I have stitchers all over the country who are helping. Besides, since each star takes only 1-3 hours, I get a wonderful sense of joy every time I finish one.

If you would like to see my first 9/11 project, An Americana Flag, scroll to the bottom of this blog!

See you later! Thanks for reading!

  3. Yikes, I did forget about voting. We've been on the phone so much, I just assumed I did it. I vote for number 1 (and I think that may be different then what I told you, but, hey, a girl can change her mind (LOL). I really like this biscornu, you did a lovely job, not just stitching it but designing your own, WOW, wish I could do that. Not a creative bone in my body though.

  5. Hello again! ;-) If I have to pick a favorite star, I will vote for number 2 but I do really like them all. Keep designing -- you're doing great!

  6. I like star #1 the best. I think that blue on the outside with yellow and pink on the inside would look nice.
