A few hundred French knots later

I decided that the vines on my wool house would look better with flowers, so I just did a few hundred French knots with Laura Wasilowski's fabulous hand-dyed pearl cotton #5 thread. I love the way the colors in one skein range from warm yellow through peach and a pretty pink.

Here's a pile of her threads, which she sells at www.artfabrik.com. Every few years I order another handful of skeins -- it's like choosing candy at the candy store.

I've been dragging out this block-of-the-month wool applique project for a year and a half, and I've only finished seven blocks. No rush! Here are some more details.

Have a colorful day
