A Finish

I managed to get the mini Joan Elliott project I was working on finished off. I really love the hand dyed fabric on this one. So much so that I ordered a couple of grab bags as a treat. This is now going to go in a finishing pile, don't know what I will do with it yet but will have fun finding out. This little one is from a set of Mother's Day card designs from the Ultimate Joan Elliott Collection. I have left the text off but may put some text on later when I think of what I will use it for.

Here she is:

The eyes on the doll are the first time I have successfully managed french knots. I'm not sure but I think they make her look kinda evil. What do you think, is this doll going to come to life and try to kill me in my sleep?

  7. I recommend that you just forget the french knots and do a colonial knot whenever they're called for. I can't tell you how much my life has improved since I made that decision.

    The doll looks great. I love French knots. Once you get the hang of it, they are a lot of fun and give great texture.

  13. gorgeous finish and the fabric is beautiful! I had the same issue with the wedding sampler i recently finished, getting the eyes right was so hard, they either ended up wonky or looked like they were winking!

  14. That is a beautiful design! French knots are tough to do on eyes. I'm still laughing about your evil doll comment.
