Temari Challenge week 2...going great!!:)

Thank you for following my Temari challenge progress this November :)

My progress after the 2nd week 

Japanese Temari balls challenge

This type of embroidery pattern is known as 'Kiku' in Japanese meaning Chrysanthemum . It is made with layered Herrigbone embroidery stitch called as Uwagake Chidori  . Click on the links to see the pattern and stitching tutorial .
 
The beginning : Pins marked at a calculated distance between North pole and equator of the ball 

Embroidery in progress

Layered pattern formed as the embroidery rounds increase

On the centre/equator , also known as 'Obi' , I stitched solid square shapes with the same stitch . These solid shaped patterns are also commonly used in Temari balls


I have started using Kreinik metallic threads on my Ladybird fairy and I am enjoying working with it.



My first ever chilli grown at home :) I always had failed attempts due to flower drop problem

My spinach keeps growing big and giving steady harvest twice a week .



Hope you enjoyed seeing my Temari progress pics .

When I wrote my post today , I found a google notice about cookies notification as per EU laws . I don't even remember whether I disabled it years back while designing my blog . When I checked with my country domain , I did not see any notifications . Anyways , I have no energy to analyse it right away and make any changes but if anyone has come across it or know about any tutorial on what needs to be checked/done , then do share it .

Have a great day!
Preeti :)

  1. Great progress Preeti. Looks verrrrrrry pretty. You will be making more I think. I have bookmarked all tutorials. So u r successful in your challenge. Metallic thread details add beauty to the hair.
    I always fail in my gardening attempts. Since we r having showers of rain now and then I got 15 to 20 tomato plants from the vegetable peels which I have thrown into a plastic bin with sand.(unexpectedly). Let me see whether I will be able to bring it up. Your garden also looks good.
