Rangoli-81

Here are some simple Rangolis again. 5X5 dots for each block

One block

I have used these blocks here by placing them separately one near another without combining.

Another design slightly modified.

Here I have combined the dots of each block with other. That is one row or column of dots are shared between two blocks.

GEOMETRICAL Rangolis

I wanted to post so many Rangolis. But I had some problem with my camera. Any way now that I have got it rectified, I will be posting more Rangolis. Especially since Pongal is nearing more so.


Here are some Rangolis which are Geometrical. I could draw only few designs that too smaller ones. I din't have time to pen bigger ones. These are easy to draw and good for flats and houses with lesser space in their front yards.

These are 5X5 dots.

These blocks can be used as such or combined with other blocks or designs to form new ones. I will try to post some more bigger ones next time.


Hope you like them.

Satin Stitch

Hi Friends!

I was just doing some spring cleaning(in winter time) :). I wanted to weed out old clothes and other things which are stuffed in my storage space and I have no space for so many new things. Every time I do that, I religiously weed out old ones, but slowly one by one I put them back thinking, this one I can wear for some time etc etc etc. Out of hundred I weed out, I put back nearly 80%. After that I again think that I need to seriously make space for my new stuff.

Anyway here is what I found recently.

This was a cushion cover. White in colour. This was my first attempt at Satin stitch. I was a little girl then. So this piece is old. The cloth has worn out with innumerable washes. But the embroidery is still looking good-may not be as bright as it was before. May be slightly faded. I am really amazed at the colours still there. The company which produced this thread..Coats India.. needs to be appreciated for such excellent quality.

Some how I don't feel like throwing it away.

I am thinking of cutting the square out of this and add to my album under Satin Stitch. What do you say?
