Rebecca never ceases to amaze me. I came across this ullion knot in a wool embroidery. I struggled with it because the directions just were not great. Then I came across Rebecca's class. It was exactly what I needed. Taught perfectly! And now I have even more ideas as to how to use them. Thanks Rebecca.
