Bullion Knots

join 20My first seam today Bullion Knots which is this weeks TAST Stitch but I haven’t put it in the subject as my doing the stitch because whilst it suits my purposes to have a non descript seam that just sinks into the background it hardly shows Bullion Knots off to there best advantage.

You will notice that the first 4 knots in the row are a slightly different colour, It was the dark, dreary day that made it hard to match the colour…The need for a colour change was a slight miss judgement, For these short seams I am useing up my scraps of thread and forgot that Bullion Knots use quite a lot of thread and that I would need a longer length.

I was doing this while visiting Sharon this afternoon and she suggested that I blog how I keep my scraps of thread which is to stick one end onto sticky tape which holds them together so that I can see what I have, at least I can when the light is good enough to see properly lol.

Thread ends

On the second part of this join I didPalestrina Stitch done in green thread with random lenth and oddly angle arms to replicate grass onto which I appliqued the Street sign and an image of one of my brothers cars which I printed onto T shirt transfer.

One of many Cars

    Thanks for sharing that thread trick. The bullion stitch seam looks great, and I only thought of it with flowers, because that’s what I wanted to do with it. I may try that right now. =) Your ideas are always so helpful.
