Best Achievement in French Knots

Shirley Temple Sampler
stitched by Kitschygalore

I thought I'd seen a heck of a lot of perfect French knots when I saw this piece. But then I clicked next and saw:


Domo Kun

Is there an Academy Award for Best Achievement in French Knots? I hereby bestow it on Kitschygalore.


Oh, and psst! Are you scared of the French knot? Try this new French Knot tutorial on the Sublime Stitching site. There's even a version for lefties.

    So you like knots? Take a look at Teresa Layman's designs. Filled with colonial & french knots.

    I've seen her models in person. I bought 3 just to get started.

    I did a bazillion french knots on a Sublime Stitching poodle, and I thought my hand was going to be permanently disfigured. I can't imagine doing that many!

    these are stunning! I am off to check out the Sublime tute as my french knots really suck! 1 every 10 might be ok but I can't get consistency!!!
