Miniature Knot-work, who knew?

Blog 12


Continuing on from yesterdays blog about the West Sound Quilters quilt show at the Kitsap Fairgrounds, have you ever heard of miniature Knot-work?  Well take a look at this.


The Quilt itself is around one foot square I'm guessing.  The blocks in the quilt are about 2" to 4" on a side, again a guess. 


If you can enlarge this please do, the work is exceptional. 



Here is the picture I took of the description of the quilt.  In case you can not read it, I will repeat the wording on how it is made. "The Santas were made entirely of french knots using one thread, one wrap around a small quilting needle...  estimated to contain 2000 knots per square inch!"
HOLY COW!  Isn't that amazing?  Well, if you want to try it yourself I looked it up on the Internet and here is a link to a site with kits,      http://www.teresalayman.com/easy.htm  As for me... maybe I'll do one after I finish everything else.  ha ha ha ha ha
