Doiles:

My friend Gina from Australia send few stamped linen doilies for embroidery purpose.
stamped linens are really great to work on.

I worked bullion stitch for flowers and french knots in the middle of the flower. Stems are stitches in portuguese knotted stem stitch. And the border is worked in blanket stitch.

 As border to this I have attached yellow ric rac lace.

Net work..vala kuttu

Vala kuttu is nothing but the variation of buttonhole stitch. Vala is net in telugu language. The stitch looks like net so the name.
Here i have worked on a kameez which is crepe material. The design starts from the vest of the kameez and ends on the opposite shoulder.
