I have finished the outer eye-shaped
border with kantha stitches using 2 strands of black stranded cotton
thread.
The next step is to complete the outer
triangle border and hook things at the tip of the triangle with kantha stitches using
2 strands of black thread.For this as I said earlier we need to plan
a stitch route.
I started from one end of triangle
which is indicated by an arrow in the above image,took a couple of
stitches to reach the tip of the triangle, finished the hook thing on
both sides ,then worked a couple of stitches on the other slanting
side of the triangle and repeated the same plan to complete the
entire border.
You don't have to follow the same
route.Please go ahead and choose one which you think the best
route.The only criteria here is you should be able to complete the
border without leaving a longer passing thread.
Will be back next wednesday with some
filling stitches :)
Happy stitching!
Anita.

Your SAL Kantha is going to be beautiful, is it too late to join the SAL?
@ Séverine - No,it's not late..you can join us if you are interested.Please let me know.
Your design and kantha stitching is looking wonderful. I'm too busy to join but I look forward to seeing the progress you make.
This is perfect for me. I am working on making my stitches smaller and consistent. Having a point of reference from the photo really helps. Thanks for this opportunity.
I am very interested in your SAL and I'll be very pleased to join it. Thank you to accept me.
@ Séverine - I don't know your e-mail id ,please either leave it here in a comment or send me an e-mail and I'll send the pattern.

Have a good day!
Hi Anita!
Just finished to stitch the curlicues - it was astonishingly difficult to keep them all looking as alike as possible! I'm getting more and more respect for Kantha embroiderers...
Cheers,
Isabelle
anita,iam ready to start SAL but have some doubt..if we choose any size design,is it mandatory to stitch 1/4inch(a bit less)length for each running stitch or shall we use 1/8 inch length stitch when it comes to a small design.i mean, for my 'tablet' case,i use small design approximately 12 inch full design,so what length should i take for the stitch?kindly let me know..
dear anita
after a hard work,i have finished the 1st step of stitches and uploaded the pics of the work here..
