One thing which I am kind of scared about doing, but really want to, is a biscornu. I’ve seen some fantastic looking ones around the traps (including at Zeb’s) but I’m hating the thought that i might just balls it up!

As for me, I think I’ll try this one : http://www.pinterest.com/pin/85216617924354664/
I have one I started ages ago that has a cross stitch design on one side and a four-way Bargello pattern on the other. I haven’t finished the actual stitching, but I’m also scared of finishing them – I’m not the best seamstress. Thanks for sharing these ideas.
I have to put my money where my mouth is now and stitch one!
