Back to kitchen towel experiments!!
On the same kitchen towel where I tried these Anthuriums , I stitched a rose.
Not the typical outlining alone,neither the usual filling stitches.Click on the pics to see it better.A lot of straight stitches and a little weaving in between with the final outline in blanket stitch.

Plenty of scope for improvement .Some of the straight stitches are not pulled tight and at some parts the blanket stitch outline is pulled too tight.
I am not sure if the straight stitches would withstand washing.
I am off to give the rose a bath.
Love,luck and sunshine,

ReplyDeletepretty flower.
ReplyDeletereally a different attempt deepa.... they look beautiful
ReplyDeleteNice one...
ReplyDeleteYou do amazing work!
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual technique, but it works so well, this flower is beautiful
ReplyDeleteYou made a very original beautiful rose. Especially the yellow weaving is very nice. I am really curious how the washing will end.
ReplyDeleteI hope yours stitches withstand washing, it's such a beautiful rose!
ReplyDeleteI love the variety and use of stitches for your rose creation.
ReplyDeleteUnusual and lovely.
Very special, aren't you clever?
ReplyDeleteYour rose is beautiful Deepa - I don't think I would be able to actually use the towel though - far too pretty for that!
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual Technique deepa.....you are too good!!!!

great attempt... like this...
ReplyDeleteWow, that center is really a modern-art effect, like Frida Kahlo or . . . not Georgia O'Keefe, but someone from that era, 1930's. It's fascinating.
ReplyDeleteThe long stitches will probably catch on buttons, if you just toss it into the wash with everything, but what's really going to spoil the look is, it will dry wrinkled. Embroidery always does, and the longer the stitches the more wrinkles. I cannot imagine ironing a kitchen towel ;)
Well, it's a beautiful picture now, anyway!
Its nice to follow your blog..
ReplyDeleteI liked your work... They are just beautiful
