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

Savitha.

Hi Friends,
This is a some embroidery  I did recently, It was on the certificate which my son got for participating in the Easter Egg competition. While organizing them, I got a spark of embroidering it, soon I traced the design and did it.

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
