Such lovely colours and the construction of number three is beautiful.

All hail to the Queen!

French knots rule! Lovely, colorful creations Monica.

Oh, how fun! French knots are quite an art. I'm impressed, your majesty!

French Knots are my favorite stitch!

the brooches look lovely!

I wouldn't know a pearl stitch from a..what ever that other kind of stitch is. So i think it is fantastic.

These are so colorful and fun! I love the embroidery. For some reason, I can do all kinds of other stitches but not French knots!

I love number 3 brooch - looks like fortune cookies all sewn together somehow - they are all lovely - what a great idea!
