I love your embroidery! Those little flowers are BEAUTIFUL.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, I don't embroider much but I do like french knots and I use a blanket stitch a lot....does that count ? :-)
My aunt used to embroider a lot, but I had so much trouble getting a french knot to look nice. Yours are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely work! My grandmother used to embroider on crazy quilts she would make. I never met her as she passed years before I came along...but have seen her work and loved it...I believe she used all sorts of stitch designs..the feather stitch is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteWe used to do embroidery at school and make tray/table cloths and I used to like lazy-daisy. I still have trouble with satin-stitch and would like to learn stem-stitch. I also like the French knots and aren't bullion knots the same?
ReplyDeleteI keep trying french knots and they dont work - I must be doing something wrong somewhere - I like running stitch !! LOL
ReplyDeleteI have been known to use the occasional blanket stitch - I have a vintage book with loads of different stitches in and its one of my resolutions to try to learn some.
Well done you !!

ReplyDeleteI love your embroidery - but I have yet to fall in love with the art myself - I'm too impatient! I probably use blanket stitch the most ...
ReplyDeleteI would never have guessed a clock ... can't wait to see that!
I love feather stitch. It makes great leaves.
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful! I am not much of an embroider myself, but I make some humble attempts at french knot, use blanket stitch whenever I can and only dream of getting good at satin stitch...
ReplyDeletei used to really HATE french knots. But as of late--love them :)

ReplyDeletelovely.. I haven't got a favorite stitch though as my embroidery never got that complicated.
ReplyDeletehope Mr. LK had a good flight
Would you laugh if I admitted I'm a bit scared of french knots? *blush* I love blanket stitch and use it on all my appliqués.

Gorgeous Flower! I love the colonial knot, it was the first knot I learnt and I was lucky to have a good teacher, my mum :-)
ReplyDeleteI love blanket stitch, the knobbliness of french knots and herringbone.
ReplyDeleteGrogeous colours you've mixed together there. Very pretty.
I like the french knot and the blanket stitch! Those are my favourite. I use the running stitch a lot though...
ReplyDeleteOh that is darling! I would have to say my fav stiches are the french knot and blanket stitch!
ReplyDeleteTic -Toc-time to go-hope you are having a nice day!~Smiles~Tam!

Gorgeous. I really need to learn how to make french knots.
ReplyDeletebellissimi lavori.....
ReplyDeleteciao melania...
I love french knots too, in fact any stitch that has textural qualities that I can feel with my fingertips as I go along. I did a yarrow on a wool blanket with just french knots and I couldn't stop touching it! I also like padded satin stitch, although I'm not very good at it. I love your flowers above, gorgeous!
