French Knot Poodle

I thought I would share with you a shirt I embroidered for my daughter. I finished this last week, but I'm lazy, I mean busy, and I'm just now posting a picture.


I don't know what my obsession with variegated floss is lately, but I think it was perfect for this project. My daughter really loves it too, and likes to rub her fingers against all the knots. When I showed it to her she said, "AWW, a dog! It's cute!" Well said.

If you're feeling inspired, I used the Lisa Petrucci patterns, by Sublime Stitching.

I also embroidered the kitten from the same pattern set on a yellow t-shirt, but I've been too "busy" to take pictures of that one. I'll try to remember to snap a few shots when I take photos of the Father's Day gift I made for my husband.

xoxo

It would take me about a month to make all of those perfect little french knots!

Oh! This is fabulous! What a perfect idea! My daughter has been wanting a poodle on something, and I may just have to use this idea .... I'll tell her Aunt Amy from the computer came up with it. ;)

This is super cute ! Mainly because of your french knots of course and the rest of the embroidery...love how the cute bow kind of sinks in her curly fur.
Great Job !!!
