Some more variations were worked on the sampler.
16.110.rope st sampler2
Two rows of rope stitch are worked in the same direction in the first sample, three rows of rope stitches in a curve in different shades of green are worked in the second sample, in the third sample, rope stitches worked with perle cotton and cotton skein are combined. perle cotton and silk threads are combined in the fourth sample. Rope stitches are worked in opposite directions in the fifth sample.

The long rope stitch is combined with short rope stitch in the first row. The needle was inserted further in the line to form a shorter version of rope stitch, this is combined with basic rope stitch in the second row. Rope stitches are whipped and laced in the next two rows. I tried a wider version of the stitch by inserting the needle beside the previous stitch in the line in the fifth row. The detail-

I am working on rope stitch sampler now. I am still in the thinking stage of the hussif project. I have started another tunic project. This time there are only borders, the design is based on ethnic Indian embroidery . It has kutch work motifs on border. A time consuming project.

When I was browsing some old patterns on the net, I came across some cord work. This gave me an idea of working a row of beads between two chain stitch lines. I don’t see any connection between the two things here, still a pattern was drawn to incorporate this idea on a yoke. The tunic fabric-

Last year my younger nephew, Balaji got married. I designed and embroidered a maroon silk kurtha for his engagement. Here he is in his engagement attire. He wore a cream narrow salwar [Indian leggings] to match this kurtha.

I was in a hurry to finish the embroidery and let the tailor do his work.
In India, these days, men’s kurtha are embellished very heavily. I wanted to do this for my nephews. I feel happy seeing the pictures.

My second nephew got married last year. I have two nephews, For the engagement, I designed and embroidered two kurthas for each one of them.. Both these fabrics were fine silk. This blue kurtha was designed for the elder one [Deepak]. We found a tailor, who was willing to cut the fabric for working this embroidery.

The embroidery was done in chain stitches. Silver metallic, light blue and white were the fine silk threads that were used for the embroidery.

I wanted to make simple yoke in kutchwork. My new niece [Charanya] mentioned she liked black and red combination. I thought this combination would look good on white ikat fabric.

Some more samples of square boss stitch were worked on the sampler.
15.109.square boss st smapler2
In this part of the sampler, the square boss stitches are combined in this order with other TAST stitches-Rice stitch, double cross stitch, square herringbone and Algerian eye stitch.
15.109.sqboss st-3
Detached chain stitches are worked below square boss stitches in the first sample. The stitch worked over lace along with pistil stitches and beads in the second row, the square boss stitches [at least try to] keep the beads in place over the crosses in the last row.

A lovely stitch to work with on my sampler.

After starting this yoke, in between I worked on 14th week stitch on TAST 2014 challenge. Completing that sampler, this work was continued. The base colour of the tunic is white. So white threads were incorporated into this yoke. A few sequins were added to the centre.

I am planning to add silver beads on the border to match with oxidized silver accessories. If the yoke gets finished, it’ll have to be given to the tailor for sewing, which might take a while.
