PATBIDLACK Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Wow how impressive. Are they from kits or from pattern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Spirit Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 They're wonderful! You really did a beautiful job on them. Did you use needle-punch, or french knots, or what? I love the cat one especially. Where did you find the pattern - or did you design it? They must have taken forever to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelly N Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Thanks Everyone~the train one is actually a cross stitch pattern that I adapted for FK. That means French knots. The circle of cats is a pattern top that i got from Anna G Link here: http://users.vcnet.com/annag/default.html The train one is on a site called dancing violets. I don't have the link for it. They are both done entirely of french knots. I used 2 strands of floss and wrapped the needle twice. It takes approximately 490 french knots to fill one square inch so they took me a while to do.

Shy Spirit Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I did a search to find the Dancing Violets needlework site - here's the link: http://dancing_violet_designs.homestead.com/ Once I had a look at the site I remembered seeing it before - I actually had the animal train pattern saved already! Thanks for the reminder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
