I've been stitching this for 5-10 minutes every day for almost a month now, finished the construction yesterday .My mother was so happy to receive a surprise gift and she liked the neutral color combo J

Daisy border


Hi !
I've been working on a saree for the past few weeks , completed the entire border (approximately 10 mts) except the flower center as of now.

                                                  
I couldn't decide whether to do french knots or shisha for the center so this saree will be be sitting in a corner for a while until I decide…

Here is another wip.....

                                         

Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy stitching!
Anita.

Centerpiece with tatted edging


I’d tatted this edging sometime back but totally forgot about it. When this one fell on my lap while cleaning my space I felt really bad L.May be I should keep a record of all my UFO’s…

                                                    
I had a cotton fabric piece in my stash which suited the size of this edging. 

                                       

                                          
I crocheted one row of chain and clusters on top of the tatted edging, blocked and hand stitched it to the fabric.The pattern is from an old J&P Coats tatting book.
I love runners /centerpieces with tatted/crocheted edgings J and am happy that another UFO is finished.

Happy stitching!
Anita.
