No more Bullions!

Last week was a very slow week for me. I was back to avoiding working on Fandango as I was all bullioned out. And I didn't feel it was right to work on anything else because really I should have been stitching on Fandango. I can't really blame it on the bullions, I have a really hard time with repetition. Once I've done something I don't really want to repeat it again. In this case I had three flowers left to embroider.

This weekend I was determined to finish them. I'm so close to the finish I can taste it. It took me all day Sunday, but I got them all done. No more bullions!


Now technically, I should still have had some bullions to stitch. On the smaller flowers to be exact. However, due to an unfortunate misread of the pattern there was no space for them :P Instead, I decided to stitch a single bead at the center. I really love how they've come out.


From afar you really can't see a difference between this post and my last one lol but it's there.

  • Needlelace fans for the two small squares on the right (there is a possibility of having to redo one of the left ones because I'm picky)
  • (big breath) Bullions ALL around the border and within the piece
  • Palestrina knot swirls (there are 16)
  • Buttonhole edge to finish off the hem
