Kurti Neck embroidery sample - Running stitch

 Hi all

Hope all are doing well.  

I am happy to share with you all a new sample I have tried for making an neckline for kurti.  I have used the simple running stitch and straight stitch.  Atlast I have added a cut bead in between the design.

I have drawn straight lines that form a diamond.

The stitches should not cross each other at the intersection of the lines.  At the intersecting point of the lines the fabric should be seen.

Added straight lines at the intersecting points using orange color thread.

For the outlines I have whipped the running stitch with orange color thread.

Added cut beads on the centre of the diamonds.  I will share with a proper design with correct measurements when I post the kurti.  This is only a stitched sample.

In my next post I will come up with a needlepoint purse. Till then, happy embroidering.

Crochet Blanket

Hi all

Hope all are safe.  Today I am here to share my crochet blanket which I have completed using the yarn scraps which have been collected over the past few years and still more scrap yarns are left.  

I have done two rounds of granny squares using the scraps and then a round of white.  After making two same color granny squares I have joined them together and bordered the two squares using black.  

Made twenty rows and then bordered them with pink or purple.  

Likewise added six columns with twenty rows each and finally added two rows of border and finally completed. 

These are the two blankets which I am having in my cupboard now.  The blanket which I have started last year is waiting to get joined and I hope I will be able to completed it before 2020 ends. 

One of the goal for this year to completed one crochet blanket is achieved. And I am happy about it.  Now I will be able to concentrate on the other projects.  

I will come up with another embroidery design in my next post.  Till then, Happy crocheting.
