kutch work bedsheet

Hello friends .I know it has been a very long time since I posted anything related to kutch work in this blog.I call this second kutchwork bed sheet as this is the second one I have done.. and yet to post the pictures of the first bed sheet .

I had been working on this kutch work bedsheet in the last month... it took about 35 hours to complete the bedsheet which has this beautiful motif in the centre  along with diamond motifs all over the body.

Here is a closeup of the center motif

Here is the  close  of the diamond motif

This is the view of the complete bed sheet

A total of 30 diamond motifs  in kutch work along with the center kutch work motif took about 35 hours ... which gave me immence peace of mind and joy  while working on it.

Along with kutch work,  button hole stitch, stem stitch and herring bone stitch has been done in the center motif!

What do you think of it?

An angel arrives :)

I have not been blogging for the last 3-4 years.I know it's a long, long time ..... and I kept wondering what kept me away! There are a few good reasons but not sufficient enough to  be away for sooo long I feel.

one of the reasons was..

.my new home was being constructed it ( in which we have settled for the last 2 + years.)took about year and a half..

secondly...

An Angel has arrived into our family.. :)

Yes after moving to our new Home.. there was a Good news ...and My elder daughter Prachi became proud sister to a cute little baby girl.. Shripriya.. who is already a year plus old now. She keeps me on my toes...It has been a very happy journey these days and the angel has definitely brought a lot of fun ,joy,n merriment into our lives!

here is a picture of shripriya  on the back ground you can see the kutch work bed sheet .
