WIP: Bloom Where You're Planted
Here's my Mary Engelbreit WIP. The watering can is all done except for the french knots that will go on the spout -- I figured I would post a picture now while it still looked nice! There are TEN of the french knots so I expect it will look a little disheveled the next time you see it...
After finishing the watering can last night, I decided to wait on starting the writing on this piece, and switch back to another WIP that was in danger of becoming a UFO (unfinished object). I don't know whether I will post pictures here as it's a present for someone, but right now I need to make some progress on it so that is where my stitching energy has to go.
I am expecting that my round robin will be here soon to work on, too. I mailed mine on Saturday. I'm looking forward to getting the piece I will be working on!

Can you explain about these eevil french knots to the uninitiated? Or do you sorta have to be there to understand.
Your Watering Can is looking great...I'm also a big fan of Mary Elgelbreit, I can wait to see it finished
Thanks, Carla! It's a really cute design.
Maria, there's a video of a French Knot in action here:

However, she makes it look really easy. Mine never come out that good!
awww, what a sweet watering can
Nods. That knot looks like a pain. But your watering can is adorable.
Susie, That's looking so cute :-)
