Every year for summer I do embroidery on cotton material. So this time also I bought many shades of cotton materials and completed embroidery on many and this is one of them.
This time I picked shaded buttonhole stitch, a variation of usual buttonhole stitch on a cotton material. For leaves I have used long n short stitch. For the whole project I have used 2 strands of variegated silk threads
.I love this design so much. Earlier I did on the same design and gifted to my niece.
Sorry for the poor picture quality. I forgot to take pictures before sending them to daughter for tailoring. Below photoes were sent by her taken from her phone..
