I decided that the flower swaths needed to be enhanced with embroidery...so...more French knots, along with fly stitches and some lazy daisies here and there. I don't know how well you can see the stitching in this picture, but hopefully you can...
- There's a virtual gallery of fabric art HERE.
- And be sure to have a look at what THIS amazing artist does - using paper!!!
- I wouldn't have thought of this use for THESE (but I would use one for keeping wayward sewing supplies in check).
- Have a peek at the creations of THIS amazing artist!
- There are lots of free knit and crochet patterns HERE.
Today's quote is from Mr. Rogers..."We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, 'It's not my child, Not my community; Not my world; Not my problem. Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes"

Good old Mr Rogers, another encouraging word.
ReplyDeleteHe was certainly a gem, wasn't he.
DeleteI am like a broken record saying the same old thing, but I truly do love your work, it is stunning, you are a very talented lady!
ReplyDeleteawww, thank you Gill! Glad you like my work.
DeleteSherryofcreateology: Beautiful embroidery is always very special on your landscapes. So many amazing artists you have shared. I have made the little fabric trays out of 5” charm squares so that they are mailable in a card. They hold lots of little bits! Mr. Roger’s was a wonderful person and we need him more now than ever! Blessings Dear…
ReplyDeleteI love embroidery so it's no hardship for me to keep adding some. The problem is knowing when to stop!
DeleteBeautiful work!
ReplyDeleteFrench knots are a mystery to my brain. I’ve tried. lol

I didn't used to like doing them but I guess now that I've done so many it's become a lot easier.
DeleteI agree with Boud's comment. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMr. Rogers was definitely a treasure and perhaps not given enough credit.
DeleteWow--you've been on a french-knot-a-thon for sure!! They do look so lovely on your piece...nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI added more this afternoon!
DeleteSo many French knots. I bet your fingers were cramping after all that embroidery. Fantastic stitching.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
My fingers give me grief from arthritis anyway, but I refuse to give in and continue to stitch.
DeleteOh my goodness! I enlarged your photo to see the stitching-it's beautiful! You would not like to see my messy embroidery!
ReplyDeletehah - you do NOT want to see the backside!
DeleteOh gosh, that's some beautiful stitching!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki - I can lose hours with needle and threads!
DeleteLook at all those French knots! Beautiful! I've never got the hang to French knots, but I know practice makes progress.
ReplyDeleteI've done so many French knots over the years so I'm comfortable with them (that's not to say I don't have the occasional problem though).
DeleteSweet flowers. Love the close-up! :)
ReplyDeleteI love highlighting preprinted fabric 'bits' to create floral swaths.
