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.

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

TAST Week 8 -Chain Stitch

Hi Friends,
I was busy with my work for the last two weeks,  so was not able to post anyting. Now I'm going to post for this weeks challenge, Chain Stitch for  Sharon's TAST . I have used Chain Stitch as a filling stitch. I enjoyed doing this stitch. In this Motif also I have used only Chain Stitch.

 For the stem I have stitched the chain stitch,

and in each chain I have done two rows of detached chain and it looks  different.

 The Leaves are also filled with chain stitch.

So this Motif is completely stitched with Chain stitch. Thank you very much for visiting my blog. Your comments are most valuable.

Cheers
