When I stopped by the SBEBB a little bit ago, I saw that Aniza has received the exchange that I stitched her for the Winter Quaker Exchange.
This was the first time I had ever attempted anything Quaker and to be honest at first I wasn’t exactly sure what constituted a “Quaker” design, so before I even started the stitching I had to do some research!
After some investigation, I found some Quaker freebies to my liking and since I don’t think they get much snow in Malaysia I thought it would be fun to send Aniza a Quaker snowflake or two. Consequently, I chose to stitch two snowflakes in B5200 on some 25 count baby blue Lugana.
At first I was going to make her a little scissor fob, but after a little bit of thought I decided to try my hand at making my first biscornu instead. I absolutely loved making the biscornu and couldn’t believe how easy it was. In fact, my 6 year old niece “helped” me do the finishing by picking out the center buttons.
Though I enjoyed expanding my stitching horizons and trying my hand at a Quaker design, I can’t say that the style made that much of an impact on me and I doubt that I will stitch another any time in the near future.
The biscornu on the other hand… I will definitely be making some more of those!
