I was waiting for this ,from the moment I joined the stitch explorer challenge.
March’challenge- assisssi embroidery was on my to do list.I had designed small pictures last year, but the right time never came, to work on them.
Now I can work on the challenge and project together- I started on my first 5 days ago-
Design- I was inspired by the mughal miniatures when I was designing the pictures. Inner design is derived from that.

The border was a geometrical pattern. the finished picture-

I already had this IKEA frame, and this was the reason,I designed the pattern.
I enjoyed working on this, thankyou Sharon.

Wonderful work and inspiring design. I love the checked look created by the stitching in the middle area–a great transition from the border to the inner design.
Best wishes,
Elizabeth
