Bullion knots

Julie Kniedl
6th prize
Prize worth £70
Bullion stitch
Size: 10 cm high

Inspired by the fact that the embroidery had to be posted to England (from Australia), Julie tried to think of something free-standing to avoid the problem of adding extra weight with a frame. A cross-stitch design completed several years ago provided the idea to use a pear shape. Constructed using felt and sculpted into shape, it was then completely covered using bullion stitch.
