So, did you think I had stopped working on the Ecuador block? Wrong! lol As usual, I have painted myself into a bit of a corner. I have done this in the past with french knots (millions and millions of french knots) and this time it is bullion stitch.
I thought it would be nice to have a llama on the block so since they tend to look like they have dreadlocks I thought the whole thing should be bullion knots. After I had stitched an outline of my llama, I started by doing the tail in bullion stitches. Now I have moved onto the legs. Next I imagine I will go with the head and neck and then move on to the incredibly repetitive bullion stitch body. As you might guess, I embarked on this with not one milliner's needle in the house so each stitch is a bit of a struggle...
But, I am stitching away and will continue to post updates! Did I mention I decided to make the llama BIG? roflol - if you are going to go crazy making bullions, why not billions of bullions?!
