Chikan Catch-Up

Just showing  pics of my Chikan Embroidery 

with lesson 7 completed. There's 1 more lesson already posted, and I'm still behind. I plan to stitch on this tonight, and maybe even my April CQJP.




This is a view of the front of my Chikan. The variegated 'pink grapefruit' floss creates a nice, subtle, but different look to the pattern.

This is the same Chikan, but with the work sitting in the window and the light showing through from behind. It really shows the shadow work.


I'm thinking of framing the embroidery and hanging it in a north window, allowing the light to show the stitching to advantage, but hopefully, without chancing any fading.


On to lesson #8!
I shall miss not receiving new lessons every week. I have thoroughly enjoyed learning about the beauty of Chikan Embroidery. Thanks to Anita for sharing her skills and knowledge with us!



My company has gone on to her next stop, and I hope to soon catch up on all the postings I've missed.
Happy Stitching!
Thanks for visiting.
Hugs from Suz
