From the first time I first saw a biscornu pincushion I just knew I had to make one. Biscornu is a French word meaning irregular. Most of the ones that I’ve seen have a cross stitched pattern on top giving them a soft vintage look but alas, I don’t know how to cross stitch so the idea of making one just faded with time…until a couple of weeks ago, i.e.
Janet, who is an absolutely amazing quilter, posted a tutorial on her blog on how to make a biscornu pincushion! Yesterday afternoon I decided to take the plunge and to my surprise and delight, it only took me about forty-five minutes from start to finish to make these two.
Life is good. Two more pincushions! Because you know…
You can N-E-V-E-R have too many pincushions!
Happy stitching!

Addictive I have found out. LOVE your new pincushions.
More eye candy - those are darling. They would look so neat done in old aged fabric in colonial colors. I need to add that to my ever gorwing list of projects for some day!
Wow, you are such a good student - love them!

I received a pincushion of this shape in a swap parcel...and never knew that it had a name! So thanks so much for sharing this info. And I've been craving pincushions lately...don't know what it is, but I'll be making some soon!
