Design A Day-Day 7

Day-7: I wanted it to be a small pattern. I started with 5 circles drawn directly on the cloth. I used 3 strands of cotton floss through out. Used 3 shades of blue, green, lilac and pink shaded floss. Stitches used were Eyelet, Feather, Stem and Chinese Knots.

Actually I thought I would add a few twigs and leaves but ended up with this. I have not used Chineese knots before except for practicing the stitch. The stitch is easy and looks beautiful. So I could not stop my self and kept on adding them.

 I have altered the pattern and recorded as given below which is much easier to stitch. 

Here is the pattern for you. Hope you have liked it so far.

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.
