FEATHER stitch in the making

Image
I started this project with the hope of finishing it soon..I had it all planned out.and it was coming out just fine until this point..after finishing so much i'm stuck now at deciding what design to do in between the lines, should i use multi colour thread and with what stitch. I had decided on circular design with the chemanthy stitch but at this point i am doubtful about how good it would be.. any suggestions???

I did this for my Sil..4 yrs back :) When i was going through my album i found this and decided to put it up. Both of us had gone out shopping and had bought this sheet but we could not find a matching pillow cover. So, we went and bought a plain cover and i traced the picture from the sheet and did the embroidery..the colours dont match much since at that time i did not get the same colour thread and they were in a hurry they had to travel back home the next day. but all in all.. it came out well. :)

My try out of CHEMANTHY work

Image
I know its been sometime now since I have written here, been kind of busy with things at home, but today I had some time and was browsing when I saw this blog http://deepashome.blogspot.com/ I really loved to see her work. They are so beautiful. I was going through her tutorial and decided to give it a try. I tried out the Chemanthy work and did it with ordinary cotton thread and hope it has come out right. It was fun trying out somethign new. Thank you Deepa :) http://deepashome.blogspot.com/2008/07/chemanthy-work-indian-embroidery-method.html

My First try on making a QUILT

Image
This is one of the projects that I made 2 yrs back when I was back home..it was the first time I tried to make a quilt. I had bought some material with which I actually thought to make pillow covers but I kept thinking and thinking and finally I ended up stitching this... :) Actually it is made with fiber filling. Felt so excited when it was done...but never attempted to make another one since then..
