little progress...

a new weaving sampler in progress...                

made some pleating swatches..planning to turn these into a block or a pillow                   

added some tiny seed stitches in the stylized horse project..                   

mystery x stitch progress...                   

I had stopped teaching art full time four years back and after thinking a lot about my friend's suggestion (who comes to my studio for open classes)I've now decided to offer 1-2 hours open embroidery classes once a week from mid June – mid August. Hope everything goes well during those 2 months..

Happy stitching!

black n white sampler

I finished my black 'n' white sampler.Yay!

                                        

I stitched for almost 30+ hours to complete this sampler.

                                          

This close up picture collage is for you Wendy...

I'll post pictures of the other filling stitches from this sampler in another post.

I always record the number of hours I spend on a project when I work for a commission but I sometimes don't bother to record if it's a personal project..

What do you do? Do you keep a count even if it's a personal project ?

Have a great weekend!

Happy stitching!

Black 'n' white sampler update

I started working on my sampler again last week and this is where I am after 5 hours of stitching.

                                      

                                           

I know there is lots more to do but hope will get to the finishing point soon unlike my cutwork project.

Have a great week!

Happy stitching!

Black ‘n’ white sampler progress….

The last time when I showed you this sampler I’d finished the outer border and started working on the diagonal lines.

                                                     

 

                                      

I've completed the diagonal lines and before I started to fill the diamonds/squares I've stitched all the four corner triangles… 

                                        

I’m really enjoying working on this sampler and in fact it reduces my stress level J

Happy stitching!

A sampler in progress

I’m working on this black ‘n’ white sampler now…

                                                     

                                         

I've finished the outer border and started working on the diagonal rows. I’m using stranded cotton thread and aida fabric for this sampler.

Happy stitching!
