Hello my blog readers I am happy to announce that I have created a new facebook page for my embroidery works and other crafts for sale.  Like my page and have a look at  new embroidery works and leave a message if you like  to buy..
I will post the pictures soon.. Stay tuned..

Here is the LINK to the FB page..

Feathered chain Stitch

It is feathered chain stitch this time for kurthi worked on semi crepe material.
I have used 4 strands of silk thread in this project. though it is bit difficult to work with 4 strands of silk thread happy note that I don't need to work stem stitch.
I always like to avoid stem stitch ..
You can see one more project with feathered chain stitch worked earlier here..

Mogga Kuttu: A combination of Fly stitch and daisy stitch

This is my 5th project with the mogga kuttu which is a combination of fly and lazy daisy  stitch. You can find my earlier projects worked with this stitch on a saree blouse, kurthi, salwar and a saree.
I have selected the same design which was worked couple of years back; as the dress was given away. Though I have a full book of neck designs with this stitch i couldn't make new as it takes lot of time.

Material: semi crepe
thread: silk threads
stich for neckline: basket stitch..for the first time I have used baasket stitch and I loved it..did you too?

Actual colour of the dress material is quite  different from the pictures. In real it is nice double shaded blue colour.

Balloon Work: kurthi

Balloon work is nothing but long and short stitch done on balloon shapes. Usually done with 2 different shades of threads. There are many design books available in the market for balloon work.
I did this work on fine quality cotton material. The threads and the fabric colours  slightly vary from the actual colours.
You can see there are 2 incomplete flowers in the neck part. I thought the neck will be too small. If the tailor can make suitable neck pattern I will complete them.
I like this design very much. I did the same work on same design many years back; may be more than 8 years back to gift someone. This is also as a gift to someone..:). Planning to do one more with the same..
At present I am working on a kancheepuram silk saree with kutch designs.
Daughter doing good. I am going to stay with her in PG for a week. No cooking , no house chores. So I will get lot of time to do embroidery.
