Design a Day- Day 1

So Day-1: In order to use some of the left over threads, I started embroidering small white hand kerchiefs

I started with this design directly drawn by hand on the cloth.

 I used these three colours,  6 strand cotton threads. Used 3 strands for embroidery.

 This is the final product.

Stitches used were stem stitch, chain stitch, detached chain and star stitch. Here is the pattern.

Hope you like it. This pattern can be used on blouses, children's clothes, table cloths too. 

These designs were created by me. You can use them for your personal use only. If you use them, please send me the pictures of your work, which I will post on my blog or if you post them on your blog or site please link to the original pattern here on my blog and let me know about it. I would appreciate that very much. If you want to share them please attribute the work to me, with link back to this blog. Do not re-publish. Please Don't Post the patterns on your site or blog. I hope you will respect my request.

Watch out for more....

Update: I have used 3 strands of thread through out and the design was embroidered in one of the corners of the handkerchief. If you have any questions, you can mail me.

Design A Day

Hi friends. It has been long time since I posted on my blog. As I usually complain my projects are all in various stages and it will take me much time to sort them and complete them. Slowly I am picking them two or three at a time to finish them. 

The other day I was going through my stash and organizing my embroidery materials of my work in progress projects. I came across this:

Various threads and floss all tangled into a huge bunch. Some of them I could pick up as they were still in skeins. But the others-all left overs in various lengths tangled into this mess. Just then I also came across a bunch of hand kerchiefs which I wanted to work on. So I decided to embroider on them using these left over threads.

I wanted to do some small projects to boost my morale and also to reassure my self that I too can complete the projects I start. Well what better than such small projects? 

So I will post my projects, one at a time -each day. I will also give you the patterns along with them. These are the designs created by me. You can use them for your personal use only. If you use them, please send me the pictures which I will post on my blog or if you post them on your blog or site please link to the original pattern here on my blog. Please Don't Post the patterns on your site or blog. I hope you will respect my request.

I am planning to post the Design A day patterns for a week starting from today. Let us see if I can go beyond that for another week or so. 

So watch put for these Free Patterns on my blog.....

Rangoli-300

Republic Day Special

This is 25 to 1 straight dots. Celebrating 26th January as Republic Day by all of us Indians hence our tri-colour Flag with Lotuses and a little bit of chain Rangoli. Hope you all like it.

My Greetings to all on the occasion of Republic Day on 26th January. Let us Indians remember our heroes whether freedom fighters or great sons or daughters of our land like, Maha Rana Pratap, Prithviraj Chauhan or Jhansi Lakshmi Bai, Rani Rudrama, Veer Shivaji and so many others -known and unknown -their sacrifices and their devotion towards nation and people and their services. 

My salute to our Armed Forces and Police with out whose continuous services to the nation we would not be enjoying this freedom and peace. 

We also need to put in our efforts in what ever way we can to develop our nation, maintain peace and spread happiness so that the coming generations-our own children can live peacefully and happily.
