Exchange from Virpi



The other package I received came from Virpi in Finland, and contained my first biscornu! I've been intrigued by these since I first saw them on people's blogs, and now I have one of my very own, and stitched in one of my favourite colours too! It is beautifully done, and very delicate looking. One the reverse, Virpi has stitched her initials, my name and the date. The gathering is done through the tiniest buttons I've ever seen, smaller even than the ones I've been using recently.


The rest of the package was great too - two tiny flexi hoops, which are just the right size for holding my fabric when I'm stitching scissor fobs, and four funky buttons which came in their own cute little bag.

Thank you for a great gift, Virpi!

Great exchanges pieces and goodies. Biscornu is so fun to make you need to try at least one to get addicted. I love the BOAF snowman too.

Oh, Virpi does the most beautiful work! Great Biscornu, and little extras.

I still don't have a biscornu, and have decided to make one. I found some great directions and will start it soon. Yours from Virpi is very pretty. I like those buttons, too!
