Take a Stitch Tuesday

Sharon B has us doing the French Knot this week. I think I have done a million French Knots over the years!  For a long time, I just didn't get how to do a French Knot properly.  My sister, Nancy is a very accomplished needlewoman and it was her instruction that clicked in my brain.  I did this tree last year by the end of it I was pretty tired of the French Knot!

    It's a great tree.
    Yes, you need to find instructions that you feel comfortable with, that is why I have several stitch dictionaries to find my favorite way.
    Maybe the key to these repetitive stitches is to do them for only ten minutes at a time, take a long break and return for another set of ten minutes.

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
