Time just flies..I can't believe that
we are very close to our kantha sal finish line..In just a couple of
weeks we will be there :)
The dot above the crown flower is
filled with 'kantha filling stitch using 2 strands of red shd
# 047.
The crown flower is filled with 'kantha
booti variation' using
2 strands of black and green shd # 239.To work 'kantha
booti variation' start
stitching from the outer edge of the petal with 2 strands of black
just like we did for the kantha booti until
you reach the 'v' like slit in the petal and fasten off the black
thread.Continue filling the petal from where you'd left earlier with
2 strands of green.
Next I moved on to the stem and birds(!) at the bottom of the
pattern.The tear drop shape inside the calyx like thing between the
birds(!) is filled with 'kantha filling stitch' using 2
strands of shd # 926.The base of the stem and calyx is filled with
kantha stitches using 2 strands of green shd # 269.The
outline of the birds are done with paichano using 2 strands
of green shd # 239.The beak is completed with 'kantha filling
stitch' using red shd # 047.The bands inside the body of the bird
is worked with 'bejod' using red shd # 047. A 'bejod' is
nothing but rows of non-aligned 'kantha' stitches.
I want to try two different sizes for the bird-eye and see which one
looks better for me..will let you all know next week.
See y'all next Wednesday with an update ..
Happy stitching!
Anita.

It looks very pretty! Nice stitching.
Hello Anita, I have caught up with the SAL. I do enjoy stitching it. It's looking so pretty. I have used slightly different colours to you as most of my threads are DMC. I have used DMC 3799 - charcoal grey - instead of black. I can't wait for next Wednesday! Thank you so much for doing this.
