Old bullion knots

The TAST stitch for week 20 is the bullion knot. I learned the bullion knot in TAST 2007, so I share that sampler first. It’s only 2½ cm or 1 inch tall. The thread is
2 strands of stranded floss. I stitched this with my between quilt needle, I had no embroidery needles at the time!

This is a seam on block 5 of my Crazy Monday quilt. Fly stitches with bullion knots, stitched with 2 threads of stranded floss.

A seam on my ATC Crazy Apples. Up and down buttonhole stitch with large bullion knots. Again 2 threads of stranded floss.

This butterfly is part of the crazy block I made for TAST 2010. It’s stitched with 2 threads of stranded floss. Detached chain stitches, straight stitches, French knots and a bullion knot body.

A rosebud on my up and down feather stitch sampler. Two bullion knots with perle 8 inside a fly stitch with perle 5.

This last detail is part of my embroidery Touch. I stitched it last year for Sharon’s Sumptuous Embroidery class. It's also the header of my blog. I'm not sure about the thread, I think it's a cotton perle.
