Embroidery Class

Hi Friends,
It has been long since I had posted on my blog.  Though I was busy with something or the other, I had done a little bit of  Embroidery. I will share them in the later posts.
Now it is the summer holidays for the kids. I didn't go to India this time. So I planned for the Embroidery class. The plan is a very simple design with chain stitch, stem stitch, satin stitch, hemming and tacking.  And it worked out well.

Here are the pictures of the budding embroiderers.

There are some more to come. The age group of the children are 6 to 9 yrs. And for their age the work that they have done is awesome.  I have found that boys are equally interested.  All of us really enjoyed the  lessons.  

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Cheers

Completed Lotus- TAST Week 14 Stem stitch

Hi Friends,
Here is the picture of the completed  Lotus. This Lotus I started for the TAST week 14 (stem Stitch). it took so long for me to complete. Its better to be late than never.
This Lotus and the Leaves are stitched only using the stem stitch.  First I stitched with  only pink colour for the flower.It was so plain.  So I added the purple outline, now it looks a little better.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Cheers

TAST Week 14 -Satin Stitch

Hi Friends,
I have been away from blogging for sometime.  I know I have disappointed many of my friends, during the past weeks, I'm really sorry for that. But sure I'll catch up the TAST which I have missed.
 This week when I opened Pintangle, I saw it was Satin Stitch, its one of my favorite stitches. Then I took out My TAST sampler and drew a Butterfly,  and  started stitching. Here is my Butterfly,

I used Multi coloured Machine Embroidery thread.  Butterfly half stitched.

 The Butterfly has turned out to be more colourful.

I hope you enjoyed my Butterfly,Thank you for Vising my Blog.

Cheers

Dimensional Embroidery

Hi Friends,

I want to share some of my dimensional embroidery  practices here. This is the design I'm planning to do.

Actually this design is from  the BE kit,  i'm a bit hesitant to embroider the kit, cause I don't want to waste the rayon threads, so thought of  practicing with  anchor threads and cone threads I have.

This is the first April flower I did  with anchor threads. Its  quite an easy stitch, and love to do it.

This is the second flower, Gerone Daisy, but made it over crowded. its ok.

This is Bosa nova rose. I found it very difficult to stitch these Bullions. I need more and more practice to stitch

the kit.

 

These are the three flowers I had tried for today. I'll post the progress later.

cheers
