Halloween Biscornu Exchange - Signing up deadline - 6th Aug

Post by Shin »

Sorry it has taken me a while to get this thread started.

Ok so the rules of this exchange are:

Size: 3 1/2 inches square - 2 sided
Theme: Halloween (of course :roll: ) and make it what ever you want.
Deadline for signing up: 6th August
Completion Date: 31st September
Posting Date: 1st October

Let me know if you are all happy with the dates and if the size is manageable for posting etc. Since the last one was my first ever biscornu, I don't have much experience on the average size biscornu. I think it is 3 1/2 inches square.

When signing up, please copy the list that has been posted last and add your name and and preferences. This way I know everyone has been included. I will keep updating this list below as we go along.


1. Shin (Northern Ireland - prefer to send to UK but don't mind sending anywhere - smoke free house but we are smokers - one pretty yorkie who is in the house but nowhere near my stitching)
2. Kell (UK - prefer to send to UK if poss, but if not, will send anywhere - we're a non-smoking, pet-free house)
3. Capricious (I'm in Canada, but I'd like to ship to Europe just for fun. Non-smoking, pet-free household.)
4. Siti
5. Charmed - Happy to post anywhere, smoke free house, one cat that refuses to come in to the house and 3 little monsters
6. bert
7. Zeb (happy to ship anywhere, non-smoking send, and receive if poss)
8. Bridge (happy to ship anywhere, non-smoking, have one cat indoors so possible stray fur)
9. Jaki ( happy to post anywhere - non smoker here too)
10. startchild202 (happy to ship anywhere and am smoke free and we have a Scottish Terrier, I do keep my work area clean.)
11. Mauveme (Canada--prefer not to ship to Canada)non smoking here too.
12. Pixxie (ship to uk if possible)Non-smoking and my cross stitch room is pet free!
13. Cytrix (New Zealand - happy to ship anywhere, non-smoking send, pet free (sadly))
14. XandraS (UK, happy to ship anywhere) - pet free, non smoking home (well hubby smokes but not inside :) )


Well here is the final list. I used random.org firstly then had to tweak to make sure I have met all of your preferences which I hope everyone is ok with. So the rules are: you post to the person below you and you will receive from the person above you. The last person on the list with ship to the first person on the list.

1. Siti
2. XandrasS
3. Mauveme
4. Kell
5. Pixxie
6. Charmed
7. Shin
8. bert
9. Cytrix
10. startchild202
11. Zeb
12. Capricious
13. Jaki
14. Bridge

Finally, the votes for the secret/non-secret was 50-50 so I hope you all don't mind if I make the final decision. Since the last biscornu exchange was secretive then I think it is only fair to have this one non-secretive. Hope everyone is happy with my reason for the decision.

Happy stitching everyone.

Oh! ME ME and ME! :D
Would love to sign up! Gives me more encouragement to try stitching more and more biscornus, and I have some gorgeous Halloween designs that would rock as biscornus.

To do this, there would have to be a deadline for signing up I guess because of the way the recipients are chosen. Just means that it may cause difficulty with anyone wanting to join in later.

I don't know....what does everyone else think? Should we have a deadline for signing up?

Shin the exchanges I am used to have deadlines and then exchanges are matched up and stitched in secret. The recipient only finds out once they've received the exchange. I kinda like this format because it allows us to personalise for the person receiving.

Don't mind either way though, will go with general consensus :)

Postage in Canada is rediculous. It costs less to mail internationally for me.
