Here's something for Chementhy stitch enthusiasts. This is a slight variation of the original chementhy stitch stitched in such a way as to look like a flower. "Chementhy" means chrysanthemum and the work generally looks best when stitched with yellow and white on a dark background.In case you've missed the tutorial of the chementhy work,click here . What you see below is stitched in the same way,except for variation of the length of the stitches.
I know the stitching is bad and the color too dull-The idea came to me all of a sudden and I had to try it out immediately.The pic is that of my first trial.The flower will look good with a brighter color .
Do I need to explain how this was stitched? The pic should give you a rough idea.Just vary the length of the stitches to form petals.Leave me a comment in case you've not got it .I'll try to help.
Deepa,

ReplyDeleteI came to your blog via Sharon Boggon and I'd like to thank you for taking the time to put the tutorials together. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteLooks like i might have to try this... I doubt it will look anything like yours but... practice makes perfect right?
ReplyDeleteI adore this kind of stitching - thanks so much for sharing it with us Deepa and for all the lovely clear instructions!
ReplyDeleteHello Deepa, Love this stitch. Thanks for sharing it with us. I have taken your advise and did a couple of tutorials on my blog if you would like to have a look. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteHi Deepa,The stitch looks very good.It was areally good idea to vary the length of the stitches.Sita
ReplyDeleteDeepa, I am in late, but I have understood your variation. I think it's beautiful, mais not so evident ant I think that it's preferable to draw before stitch.
