“I love sculpting with wool,”
Loretta declares.
She uses many different stitches
to give her work texture.

to sculpt. You can bring things out
or set things back.”
The french knot is one of
Loretta’s favorite sculptural

beach in Acapulco, she used french
knots to stitch flowerettes of
broccoli on canvas. The broccoli
looked so real that she attracted a
crowd of needlepointers.

She also uses french knots for
tiny roses, other flowers and
words.
“If I do words, I will sometimes
dot my i’s or exclmation points
with french knots. If I trim with
flowers, I absolutely always do
daisies with a yellow french knot
center,” states Loretta. “They’re a
handy stitch.”
Loretta designed the flowers
shown here by combining the basic
continental stitch, straight stitches
and french knots. The flowers all
came from the original “Swit”
sampler pictured.
