Slow (Needle) Dancing...

Brynwood Needleworks - Wooly Critter Sampler Flower Detail

I'm working on my Wooly Critter Sampler quilt borders. When I came to making my color choice for the corner floral motifs, I was sure I'd choose a hand-dyed shade of ivory. I changed my mind. I selected this wonderful lavender shade instead.

Brynwood Needleworks - Wool Applique' Embroidery
 
The design called for a second piece of wool fabric to create the center of the flowers, but I chose, instead, to create a dimension center of myriad French knots. 
 
I haven't stitched the flower to the ground fabric yet, because this is at the corner, and I need to join another stem under the edge before I can complete it. So, that's where I am right now. Stitching...and more stitching.

    I love french knots. I once did a peacock where the entire tail was made up of french knots. Your flower is beautiful.
