French knots

I have completed the embroidery on three new projects, I'm going to finish them off using this tutorial so they'll be ready to hang soon.  I'm thinking of including them in a shop update in the near future, but I still have a few other project ideas to try out so I'll be busy this afternoon!

I love how you have repurposed an old hankerchief for one of the embroideries! The piece with the French Knots os beautiful.

It's going to be a very beautiful handkerchief, Rachel! I also love the little pink flowers at the corners, pretty!

Look at your creative juices at work!! I really love the top piece for it's texture and lifelike quality but they're all incredibly inspiring :)

wow, these are stunning! I especially like the first one--I'm a big fan of the greens you used.

Thank you all so much for your kind comments! More embroidery is being done so stayed tuned!

Beautiful! And like Oiyi, I do not need another hobby! But your designs and work do inspire me to hone up my rusty embroidery skils!

I've been doing some french knot projects with a green variegated floss - it's fun! So needless to say, I like (and am inspired by) your first project shown here. :^)
