Embroidered Egg

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.
I have done the entire design with metallic threads. It is stitched with stem stitch and satin stitch.
I can post this for TAST Week 15: Stem Stitch

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

Savitha.

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

Pattu Pavadai - 3

Hi Friends,
This is the latest pattu pavadi that I made for my daughter. I got it stitched from the tailor and did the Embroidey part of it.
The plain Skirt and Blouse.

The close up of the neck design. Here I have used Golden and Green metallic threads. And Used white stones for the Border so that it gives a grand look especially in the evening functions. Again I added the Muvvala kuttu to the border, to make it more rich.

This Paisley motif I traced it from the skirt, and then embroidered.

 I don't know whether we can call it as Gold work. though it is stitched with metallic threads.
I hope you enjoyed my posts. Thanks for visiting my Blog.
Cheers
Savitha.
