Today I am happy to share with you the video tutorial for Ceylon stitch. This is a traditional hand embroidery stitch, used for filling shapes likes leaves, petals, or any small motif. It looks somewhat like a woven braid and gives a textured, raised effect. The thread builds up in a braided overlapping pattern. This stitch can be used in a row to create a decorative braided border.

Pattern for the design
-----------------------
I have used six strands of thread throughout the design. Embroidered the flowers using blanket stitch and whipped each blanket stitch in contrast colour. For the stems I have used split back stitch. For the leaves I have done the simple fishbone stitch but with two colors. In the centre of the flowers added three french knots.
