This is going to be my fourth saree quilt. You can see the first quilt here and the second one here and third one here.
I found these cotton saree material at the thrift store sometime ago ;one with diagonal lines and the other squares.
I thought of attempting to create something with a rustic flare.
I still do not know how the whole layout will be, I am planning as I sew along.
Learning Embroidery ..............
This weekend being extra long (civic holiday here in Canada) I had time to finish the small embroidery piece.
The three main stitches I used throughout the piece are;
Scroll Stitch
Double knot stitch
Coral stitch ; all these stitches are also known in several other names as well.
Guide: READER'S DIGEST; complete book of embroidery
Thank you for stopping by today,
till next time,

your sari quilt is looking good, I avoid strips and checks as much as I can as not too good at keeping them straight, see you have had no problem.
ReplyDeleteLovely piece of embroidery I have used double knot stitch a lot, works beautifully on tree trunks
