I have to admit and I have been stitching on and off for years - but there is always a mistake in my ...
Sounds good to me....I always sleep on it, and usually the answer comes to me in the morning.
I rarely trash anything, but I can always send it to my sister. She loves everything I do...;P

Sorry, I had to laugh at the second one because I HAVE done that! I was so mad at myself, but its probably in a box somewhere, lol! I still havent got up the nerve to start the biscornu yet. Its the putting it together part that will be so funny. Ill definitely post pics!
Ooops :) Cant help you out with the biscournu. But as for the basket of flowers, you may want to consider these :
1) modify the design by reducing the tiers of the basket to fit the existing material. Instead of framing the complete piece, maybe trim it with lace to make a card or stitch it into a drawstring pouch.
2) continue stitching as per chart by joining another piece of fabric. Tip from Scarlet Quince sounds workable :)

(just in case the link does not work, search for cross stitch joining two pieces of fabrics)
@Kathy2eggs have you ever used a marking pen? It is a pen made by DMC that washes off when your done and you can do all your 10 X 10 squares. I am starting a huge project and for the first time I am using it. The pen is blue and it would tell you immediately if you have enough room for small projects or not.
