Design A Day-Day 8

Day 8: So I am here with another pattern 

I started with this pattern

 I used Pearl cotton threads but substituted light red for blue while actually embroidering. 

This is how it turned out. I used blanket wheel or buttonhole wheel, stem and detached chain stitches.

My mom remarked that for a hand kerchief, this was a big pattern and I should have used a smaller one. I agree with her, I added too many leaves. But I liked the result.

I have altered the pattern while recording it in my sketch book and tried to make it into a square pattern. 

I think this will go well with, kitchen linen, table mats, pillows, bed linen etc and also on blouses and children's wear. If  you don't want this big a pattern you can use only the central part and do away with so many twigs and leaves. 

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.

Hope you like it. Watch out for more....

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.
