Hi all
Hope all are staying safe and doing good. In the beginning of April I have started to do a kasuti sampler in aida cloth. You can see both the posts in the following links:
Kasuti Embroidery Trimmings and Motifs - Part 1
Kasuti Embroidery Trimmings and Motifs - Part 2
Today I have added 5 more trimmings and 4 motifs in that sampler. All these trimmings are worked on 10 ct aida with 3 strands of anchor thread. Come let us see the trimmings now.
The first trimming has a diamond with three spokes and an inverted 'v' on the fourth side . The diamonds are connected with horizontal lines and another inverted 'v'.
The second trimming is a floral motif . This also has an inverted 'v' element where the stalk of the flower rest. All the motifs are connected to each other through horizontal lines. I am planning to work this trimming as a border for a dress and the floral part separately as a butti all over the dress.
The third trimming is a development of the first one. On top of each diamond there are three spokes. To fill the space between the diamonds another three spoke elements have been added. I am working on a neck design using this trimming. Next week I will be posting it.
The fourth trimming is also like a simple flower with 2 creepers on both the sides of the stalk.
The fifth trimming is a development of the zig zag one with 3 spokes up and down alternatively. This will be so beautiful for necklines.
We will move on to the motifs now. These are worked with 2 strands of anchor thread in 14 ct aida.
So far the sampler looks like this
So far I have completed 20 trimmings and 9 motifs. Will be back with another set soon.
In my next post I will come up with a simple crochet project. Till then have a nice day.

Beautiful samplers. I'm wondering how you start and end your threads, especially for the single gold squares, do you just knot the thread?
