This week’s randje per week was completed on Saturday without much fuss. I was feeling tired looking and working at the charts. This week, taking small breaks helped. This week’s TAST 2016 has two stitches- looped cretan stitch and the beaded version. The link to the samples was posted on FB group page.
Lemon green chikan work tunic was completed this week. It’ll go to the tailor during this week for sewing. The embroidery details and pattern will be posted on this blog after the tunic is sewn.
Kutchwork Cream tunic with kalamkari patch
I have five motif repeats to work on this project. This is a part of the motif. This will be big project in two phases.

They all are to be worked in three strands of the same red colour anchor skein.
Still in the process of drawing a yoke and sleeves border for gota patti work for my friend.
This week the Marash embroidery designs were more in mind than in actual paper. Sometimes, they are about using the old Marash embroidery seen on pinterest, and at other times they are about adapting other forms of embroidery to this interlacing stitch. At this time, mind seems amazed at the different possibilities. Hoping for a more productive work during this week.

I am glad you are taking short breaks so you can rest your eyes when you feel tired. Never overdo embroidery!
Looking forward to see the complelted lemon green tunic and the details.
The red embroidery is so intriguing it makes me think it is a woven pattern of the fabric.
Stitching in one’s mind/head is just as important and fun as doing the real work! I somtimes sit and repeat an embroidery stitch in my head when I have no chance of actual sewing.

Thank you.Over working with embroidery is bad. even for hands, neck.
I am also eager to see the chikan work tunic. this interlacing stitch sometimes gives this woven look. some times it is fun thinking about the ideas. I also need to organize these ideas.
