Val Laird is sharing a tutorial for creating her signature bullion roses. Go to her website, scroll down to the bottom, and click the photo to download the tute as a PDF file.
The bullion knot rose is made up of bullion knots that expand in size as they go out from the motif’s center. Bullion knots are wrapped stitches that are similar to french knots but need a few more steps. The rose’s outer bullion knots can be worked with slightly more wraps to produce a bowed form.
Bullion knots can be used to make all kinds of flowers – from the simple daisy-shaped flower, to the bullion rose bud.
