Design A Day-Day 6

Day-6: Here I am once again. This is my 6th handkerchief. All the patterns I have tried so far are simple, small and easy to embroider. I took only half an hour to complete one hand kerchief-that is from drawing the pattern to finishing my embroidery.

 I started with the pattern drawn directly on the cloth.

I have used Pearl cotton thread. I have used one more shade of light green, which is not shown in the picture.

Stitches used were Stem and Detached Chain. With just two stitches and two colours, I could get this beautiful floral embroidery. 

Here is the pattern for you. You can use different colours and stitches as per your choice.

Hope you have liked my patterns so far. 

If you use these patterns, please send me the pictures, or post it on you blog/site and let me know.

Design A Day-Day 5

Here is Day-5. With many power cuts, I have to schedule all my tasks within the short time that power is supplied. So I am posting it very late today. Sorry for that.

As usual started with the pattern drawn directly on the cloth.

These were were 6 strand cotton floss I used. I used 3 strands mostly except for the stems and few leaves where I sued all 6 strands.

After stitching the three big flowers, I added two small ones. One more colour- pale pink floss was also used. 

Stitches used were: Stem, Chain, Detached Chain, Eyelet, star stitch and French Knots. For the bigger flowers, I used eyelet and French knots. For the smaller ones, I used star or double cross stitch. 

My eye let stitch used for the bigger flowers was not at all satisfactory. I could have done much better. Perhaps I should have used only two strands instead of three. I wanted to do them again but finally decided to let them be. 

So this is the final pattern. Try it out and see. You can use any other stitches you like.

Design A Day-Day 4

So far so good. I could post for three days with out interruption, which is a great achievement for me :). Well here is the Day-4 Pattern.

 I started with this pattern drawn directly on the cloth.

I used these colours of 6 strandcotton floss. I used 3 strand for the center and petals and 6 strand for the stem and leaves. Stiches used: Chain and Straight stitches.

Actually for the petals I just wanted to use a few straight stitches. But it was not up to my satisfaction. So I went on adding straight stitches round and round and it ended up  like this.

Here is the pattern for you.

Well you can just mark these four lines (for guidance) as shown below for the petals instead of drawing all the petals and add stitches one after another.
