It’s Flowers on the Square from Elizabeth's designs with a beaded edge and tassels at the corners - it's the first time I've added tassels to a biscornu and I'm rather pleased with the end result!
I think this design was used for one of the first biscornus I ever saw! You can see Chelle’s biscornu here. I stitched it exactly as charted using the charted floss. Like Chelle, I like the combination of pastel colours and the dark beads and I think the dark tassels work well with it too – I used DMC flosses for them in the colours used in the design with some added darker shades.
One of my plans for the SAL was to try and do something different and new with each biscornu. So far it’s working as my first had 15 sides and this one has tassels. I’m not sure what my next one will be – possibly something I’ve designed myself, or one of the Atalie ones. And I’m not guaranteeing to have it finished by the end of March!
Grumble time – is anyone else as sick of Blogger’s new commenting kafuffle as I am? It’s getting to the point where I’m unable to comment on blogs using the new method as the word verification never loads! Grrrrrr!

so lovely and beautiful biscornu, amazing colors:)bravo
That one takes my breath away. What a beautiful job you did.
I have the same problem with the comments sometimes as well. Very annoying.
Oh wow, Lesley, your biscornu is beautiful!
As for the problems with commenting which browser do you use? I've been using Firefox and can't comment on blogs that use the method yours has as the word verification never loads so I have to use Internet Explorer. It works fine in IE for me so far!
GORGEOUS biscornu! I mean, WOW!!
That's beautiful. I love the flower in the middle
That is gorgeous! I love the colors and the blue is my favorite of course. That flower in the middle adds such a nice touch. Nice work!
It's gorgeous Lesley, congratulations
It's beautiful - the little rose button sets it off a treat
This one is even more stunning the 15 sided one. Absolutely beautiful!!! The rose button is gorgeous and the tassels with the darker colors really set off the other more delicate colors.
I found if you just put any misc letters into the box and press return the kafuffle thing will come back with a "Can't post" message and then the box will load properly and show you something to type in. Annoying, but better than having to change browsers, I hate IE and don't see why I should have to use it for blogging only.
This is so pretty and dainty, i love it!
I'm techno challenged so use the old way still LOL
That is such a pretty biscornu...looks like theres lots of work in it!
Havent noticed a problem with comments....yet!
This is one of the prettiest biscornus I've ever seen. Lovely work!

Wow, this is one of the most beautiful biscornus I ever saw. It looks gorgeous with all the little extras, the tassels, the beaded edge, the rose button - very special.
simply gorgeous!
What a gorgeous biscornu! Beautiful!!
I disabled the word verification thing on my blog because I had three people tell me that it wouldn't load. I guess I'll have to change it back if I start getting spam but for now I've taken it off.
Beautiful biscornu, love the button !
Just beautiful - great colors!
What beautiful stitching and finish to your Biscornu and the tiny rose in the centre is so sweet. Jane
What a lovely biscornu ! Beautiful finishing. I have never dared make any, I somehow feel that I will not manage to produce anything as beautiful. Congratulations.
Lesley,
Your biscornu is so gorgeous I almost want to eat it LOL.
It really is so pretty. I've had this ED chart in my stash forever and never felt like stitching it until I saw your beautiful version of it. Wonderful work!
