Reader's embroidery - Noddy in the rain

Shoba, a blog reader and a good friend, mailed me pictures of a pretty embroidered T.V cover - "Noddy in the rain".  At first glance,it looked just like any other embroidery - but when I paid a little more attention to the stitches- I was surprised by the variety of stitches she had used in the supposedly simple pattern.
Here's a pic.

 The pattern appears to be from a coloring book.Shoba has used crayon tinting for filling up Noddy. I love the way umbrella has been stitched up - a combination of blanket stitch and straight stitches at the base. I love that mop of hair stitched with french knots.
I wanted to show this to you all - it would be a nice little project for beginner's or a quick one for anyone who wants to stitch up something in a short time.
Shoba also made a note of all the stitches used in the pattern and mailed it along with the above pic .

From the crayon scribbles, I guess this is the pattern page where Shoba made her embroidery plan.Click on the pic for a clearer view.

Wonderful work,Shoba. Looking forward to more such creativity from you.

I hope you all enjoyed having a look at the different types of stitches used on this piece,just as I did. Imagination can work wonders, right?

Love,luck and sunshine,
Deepa

  7. As usual Deepa, you have been able to take a piece of embroider and share some knowledge about it with your readers... bravo!

    Hello... yes, I haven't posted in a long while but it has not stopped me from popping in and visiting for your blog once in a while, I am just negligent about leaving comments... found you on Facebook and just had to leave a comment here when I knew I had found the right person.... beautiful photo BTW :)

    I don't have my blog any longer, I found it too time consuming as I had also another one... now I have two pages on Facebook which suits me better, much less writing to do on my busy schedule.

    Anyway, just wanted to drop in and say "hi", you are never forgotten, I came across the lovely gift you had sent me and I must find a project for it.
