Chikankari paisley

I'm back with yet another whitework/chikankari project.                                 

This paisley pattern is stitched on very fine muslin using 1 and 2 plies of embroidery floss.

My plan is to appliqué this onto a saree pouch.

Happy stitching!

doily 'Anamika'

I'd started this doily almost a year back I think.                         

I was making slow but steady progress since then and finally finished it last week..

Happy stitching!

whitework motifs

Happy thanks giving to all my American friends!

Now that I have absolutely no pain in the wrist while holding tiny embroidery needles I'm spending more time doing embroidery and sewing.So I guess I'll be blogging regularly from now on :-)

I've made a couple of chikan embroidery motifs on a cotton dress.

coaster

a beautiful coaster..                          

I'm afraid someone will spill something over this coaster when I use..So I'm thinking of either putting it away in a drawer or frame or come up with some other idea :-)

Happy stitching!

Anamika

I've gone crazy and added one more project to my long WIP list..

It's a hardanger doily.                   

I've completed the outer square and part of the middle section so far.                   

I'm going to call this doily as 'Anamika' which means 'without a name'.

Happy stitching!

New WIP's

It's been quiet a busy month for me 'coz my cousins are getting married in November and lots of work had to be done.I've been shopping a lot for them/with them...

How are y'all? I couldn't visit all your blogs and am sure I'll have lots to catch up this week end.

 My WISP's ....

                                   

                                                            hardanger runner

                                         

Eyelet square mat..Lots of eyelets to do.To keep the tension even and get the same size is a big challenge ,so far haven't got it right.Hope I'll be able to stitch the eyelets properly atleast by the end of this project.

An evening (yesterday evening)from my balcony....

a teeny-tiny motif

I'm afraid I can't show you the full project....Sorry ....

It's a part of the pattern which I'm stitching for commission.While I was working this got some ideas to develop later for my class...

                                      

I enjoyed developing this pattern and the stitching process was (is)fun,haven't finished it yet.

What about you ..Do you enjoy whitework? Which is your most favorite technique? Please do share it with me..

Happy stitching!

Anita.

Floral lace

I haven't been here for the past few weeks because of some personal issues.I've lots to catch up now ... hope I'll be able to do that this week end.

I'd like to show you a lace cutwork doily I'd finished recently but started this one last year I guess (!).

                                     

Can you guess how much time I'd have spent to do the cutwork part alone?

Looking forward to hear from you...

Happy stitching!
