many happy hours searching for images, free patterns & creating pin cushions. biscornu pincushion patterns are frequently seen in my searches. i love them, tho not enough to make them. here is a link to a article discussing biscornus by Mary Corbet, one of my favorite blog sites for needlework. there's several nice links to sites with well illustrated how-to instructions.
