Gentle Friends, I'm still plugging away on Sojourner and here's where I left off last night....
... I'm still waffling about the centres of the pink flowers.... they are supposed to be filled with french knots done in "Her Crowne" and my knots basically suck as they are something I am just unable to master to my satisfaction, I am thinking of filling them with over one stitching... I'll make that decision at some point later on.

Hello Edgar,
ReplyDeleteIt's fun reading your blog.
French knots...I know how you feel....why don't you use tiny beads?
greetings

This is coming along so pretty! I have problems with French knots, too.
ReplyDeleteThe floral border colours are just delightful
ReplyDeleteI hate French knots as well Edgar! I would satin stitch them or just leave them as they are for interest.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried colonial knots?
ReplyDeleteTerry
I have found that the colonial knot works out better for me than the french knot.
ReplyDeleteFrench knots are a pain! Whatever you decide it will be a beautiful sampler!
ReplyDeleteHi Edgar....your sampler is coming along nicely and if you don't like to do french knots ( ;) why not putting little beads...I used to do that :)
ReplyDeleteAs you, I don't like french knots, I prefer to do colonial knots : they look better.
Have a wonderful day,
Isa
Stunning piece
ReplyDeleteWhatever you do will look gorgeous, I'm sure! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty stitch! How about beads instead of french knots?
ReplyDeleteHi Edgar,
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful job. I, as well, have difficulties with French Knots. I am with Isadarena and Minnie---- try Colonial Knots. They, I think, come out much nicer/easier.
