Biscornu with Needle Darning and Blackwork

Yeah!  I finished my needle darning biscornu last week.  It's really darling.

Biscornu, Winter 2012, Needle Darning - Yellow Side

The bookmarks are coming along.  I needed a refresher in hem stitching first!  I am really liking my left handed embroidery book. The directions are so great.

On the road

I did start the bookmarks in the extra space on the fabric. The little pansy pattern I found is very cute. I think the second bookmark will be stitched with one thread rather than two. I might try and make the centers yellow as well I suppose I should finish the first before I worry about the next though.
3/31/12 Completed the darning squares and started on a bookmark in the extra space.
