Hello everyone,

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend.It's raining outside,am enjoying a cup of hot tea and
before I forget let me show you all a kurti which I'd finished last week.

I'd worked the flowers in elongated kutch embroidery,the leaves in lazy daisy stitch and
the stem in whipped running stitch.

Happy stitching

Hello everyone,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY to those who celebrate.

I'd managed to finish only few motifs in my green salwar project (aari) because I was busy with my
2012 class preparations.

I'm going to show you a towel with SWEDISH WEAVING border today.

Happy stitching

Aari embroidery part 7

I'd worked the outline of this motif in chain stitch with variegated red thread

 The petal is filled with khiju khiju or vermicelli stitch.

The outline of the petals are done with zig zag chain stitch(over the chain stitch ),  stitched a row of red glass beads between  2 rows of chain in the paisley and flower center is a star shaped golden yellow sequin.

The trellis is chain stitch with variegated red thread and  french knots with variegated yellow thread.
I've got to repeat these motifs  to complete this dress.

Happy stitching!
Anita.
