Do you Stitch? As in embroider, redwork, a stitchery or two? I go on kicks.. and I was hunting around for a new stitchh to add to a wool project when I click on my friend Jacquelnne’s website and found the Sand pail.. oh my .. oh my .. oh my.. how I lovesand-pailss! This is the point where your imaginations goes wild. When designer gives you the drawing but no stitches. No colors to follow.. just let your heart go!
First think I thought of was French knots. Because I ADORE them. Some people not so much. Seriously don’t they just MAKE this poodle? It would not be the same done in only an outline!
Sublime has a righty and a lefty diagram.. let’s all yell yeah! And while you are there check out all the funky ‘not your grandma’ stitchery… loving the beefcake.. just saying…
My buddy BariJ has started a new blog called ‘We Love French Knots’… with tutorials and way more to come.
And since I have this nice Sand-pail to ‘decorate’ with stitches.. I went to Floss Box to find more inspiration. I love seeing a similar stitch in different takes on one sample piece. What is in your needlework bag?
