I love, love, love this stitch. My mind is racing with ideas, which I probably should be sketching down so I don’t forget them. This stitch is not easy to do but totally worth the effort. Even few bullion flowers in your embroidery project make quite the statement.
When I was stitching the previous three samplers, I had a skein of this yellow floss in my line of vision all the time. I really racked my brain trying to remember any yellow flowers I could use as inspiration for my bullion knot sampler.
They are not the most perfect stitches but I’m sure with practice, I can master it.
Just looking at it makes me so happy. If you are interested in learning bullion knot, you can find instructions here. Next stitch to do is Butterfly Chain, which I have already finished but haven’t found time to photograph yet. My other finished samplers are listed here.
I absolutely LOVE THIS! It is gorgeous and I’m honestly crazy impressed with all your work – I’ve been flipping through all the stitches and this one would be something my family would love to have <3 Black Eyed Susan's are a family flower here!
Thank you so much! I think WordPress should make a button “Someone Was Crazy Impressed With Your Work” and then I could post it proudly on this post! And on Facebook. And then I would call my family and brag. Hell, I’m going to do it anyway!
They should make a button like that!! <3 Also you should sell your work on Etsy – I'd buy it. For real!!
*too busy finding yellow floss to make another black-eyed susan sampler*
Ahh YES!! Send me a message with how much it costs please! theunderestimatedmom(at)gmail(dot)com!
Great bullion knots. You have the talent for this knot. Congrats!
By stitching only a few flowers the stitches themselves stand out and prove how talented you are. Great work!
Did you just call me talented? I’m so blushing right now.
Love LOve LOVEEE!!!
I love your exclamation marks!!!
Love the really 3 D effect of this stitch!
yes, the 3d effect is the best part of this stitch. Can’t wait to try to make some roses with it.
this is just beautiful – the way you have painted and stamped the name at the top is lovely – what a neat idea
