Kasuti Motif and a new start

Recently I have embroidered a kasuti motif.  I have done it on black color 10ct aida cloth.  Used three strands of anchor cotton embroidery thread.  I thought of completing it into a coaster.  Have a look at the motif.

I have started a new project in kutch work.  A look into it.

I have decided not to pick any new project before completing it.  I  should work on my incomplete projects.  Wish me good luck.

Chikankari project - A new start

I have started another chikankari project for a kurti.  I am doing it with a simple design with the basic stitches in chikankari(Bhakya stitch, Phanda stitch, Banarsi stitch).  I have done the border part and some motifs for the body part.  Have a look.

The first  picture is the border part and the second one body part. I have to completed the whole body with these motifs repeated.  click on the image to getter a clearer image.

waiting for your suggestions and feedbacks.

Embroidered blouse back Neck

This is a simple silk saree blouse.  I have chosen a simple design to embroider on the back of the blouse.  simple chain stitch with 1 strand and straight stitches are used.  Also small beads were used.  I have tried my best to take a clear photo of the design.

click on the image to get more clear picture.

here is a close up of the design.

In my next post I will come up with a crocheted doily. so do watch my space.

Crocheted green doily

This doily pattern was in my to do list for a longggggggggggggggggggggg time.  The pattern was free and it was from freepatterns.com.  The name given to this doily is Christmas Amaryllis doily. I have seen this in some blogs crocheted by the doily lovers. 

Here i have used the pearl cotton thread no.8 green color.  This is the first time i am crocheting a doily with thread. While crocheting I didn't get the proper shaper. But after blocking I was happy to see the shape with pineapples.  But on the blocking side I didn't do a perfect job.  The edges are not that much perfect.  Try to block once more. Now have a look at my greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen doily.

Today I was happy for one more reason that is, I have found out the option for compressing the image files from MB to Kb.  And today all the three images got uploaded within the blink of my eye.  I used to edit my pictures using ms paint. But now I am using Microsoft Office Picture manager to do this. 

In my next post I will come up with a small embroidered project. So do watch my space. Till then,Happy Crocheting.

Satin stitch design

Last year when I subscribed for the Anchor Needle n thread magazine i got a small kit with the first issue.  It contains a small design to be embroidered in a hankie with the fabric, thread and needle.  I have decided to do a simple project in between my new chikan kurti project.  so I have taken the kit and embroidered this design.  

The embroidery is done using Satin stitch.  The edges of the hankie has to be completed.  I thought of doing a simple crocheted border.  Now, have a look at the design.

I didn't get the direction of the stitches right.  Should try more in satin stitch.  Currently, I am doing a project on chikan embroidery kurti and a cross stitch puppy.  In between some crochet works are also going on.  I will meet u with a crocheted doily in next post. Till then, Happy embroidering.

Pillow cover with kutch work border

I have done a kutch work border some time back and i have a post regarding it here.  It has been attached to a pillow cover and it is for display today.  Have a look and give your feedbacks.

I made a set and now look at both the covers.

I have added crocheted edging and it adds beauty to the covers.   That's all for today.
