Lavangam Kuttu: Kurthi

Lavangam kuttu is one among the easy stitches suitable for the beginners. Though I made few samplers this is my first project with this stitch.
Lavangam means cloves in telugu language, may be it got the name as the stitch is in clove shape. We do lavangam kuttu in many ways using different stitches. Will show you few more lavangam stitches in my next posts. Here in this project I have used tailed daisy stitch for flowers.
I always try stitching with different colors and different threads and then pick suitable threads. You can see trials in the first picture shown below.
