Another BE project -A quick post

Lack of time and energy after long work days and various other obligations are a few reasons that compelled me stay away from embroidery and posting. But today I was determined enough to make a post at least. Today I want to share my second BE project. It’s a small square measuring 12 X 12 cm. You are likely to make out the stitches that I have used by seeing it.


All the knots are colonial knots. The background filling is pekinese stitch. I added the background to fill the space between the flowers. And for the rolled roses I would like to thank Deepa for her valuable BE lessons gift......they are a life long treasure.

The main intention behind creating this square was to try different BE stitches. I didn't have anything in mind at that point of time. But now that I have completed, I am wondering what to do with it. Should I frame it or use it in the middle of a cushion or.....any suggestion?

I will be back soon friends..
Love,
Anu

Back with a bang…oops old bangs :P

A big ‘hello’ to everyone out there. Old bangs coz today I am about to share two old projects, one finished and one unfinished

.

The first one is a handkerchief that I made for a friend of mine. Its special for me because it was my first BE project. The stitches are done with silk skeins. To personalize it I stitched the name of my friend. I was pretty satisfied with the outcome. After all it’s always fun to make stuffs for people whom you can count on your bad as well as good times, isn’t it?

Next is another unfinished project. It’s another mekhela for my mom. I used cotton Anchor floss. As you can see, I have used stem, satin and pistil stitch. I don’t even remember when I started it…lol……and see I am not even ashamed of saying so…..:P. Perhaps I will consider completing it as a part of my New Year resolution, let’s

see.

Anyways, I completed the traditional attire (mekhela) that I was making for my mom. She was on cloud nine after getting it!

That all for today! Will be back very soon……:)

Love ALL…..
