Chikan SAL - Lesson 5

Hi,

Here is my Chikan SAL Lesson 5.  I have delayed the progress due to my busy schedule in my professional front.  I am planning to get some time off tomorrow to complete Lesson 6 and post the pictures.

TAST 13 - Satin Stitch

Here are my trials for TAST 13 - Satin Stich.

1)  In this below picture, I have used Slanting Satin Stitch in stems,leaves and petals.

           
             2) The below butterfly is couched using satin stitch.  I have used a single twine thread as the base of couching.

3) The below flowers is one more sample done in Satin Stitch

4)  The below Lotus flower is embroidered in Encroached satin stitch.  I have used 2 skeins of pink varigated stranded cotton floss for this lotus.  Each layer of satin stitch is then outlined with small running stitches.

These are my satin stitch samplers done last year.  

Chikan SAL - Lesson 4

Hi,

I have completed Chicken SAL Lesson 4 with the whipped back stitch, Roman Stitch and Detached chain stitch variation.  Roman Stitch is a bit too bulky with all 6 skeins of thread.  I liked the look of the whipped back stitch.

Royce Bunny SAL

Here is my week 4 of the bunny project.  I really enjoy doing this small bunny .  We are just a little away from the completion of this bunny. 

Chikan SAL - Lesson 3

I completed Lesson 3 over the weekend.  It really took some hours to finish this week's lesson. 

TAST 12 - Barred Chain Stitch

Here is my small sampler for this week's Barred Chain and Alternating Barred Chain stitch.  This is a new stitch for me.  I got this design from Mary Corbet's site in one of her earlier posts.  These are stitched in 2 skeins of anchor stranded cotton floss.

TAST 11 - Whipped wheel

Here is my sample for whipped wheel.  I have used a single red crystal bead in the center.  It is not clearly visible in this photo.  I have used 3 skeins of varigated stranded cotton skein for the whipped wheel.  To deck this up, I have added an outline of red crystals with beaded back stitch.  This could be used as a motif in tunics.
