The gift revealed!

Thank you for your comments and suggestions in my last post.
I guess few of you thought that I was asking about the swirls in the background of flowers which I was anyways going to stitch. It were the single crosses within the flower bunch that I was not sure about and I am still not, even now. I will stitch everything and then will sample one bunch with the crosses and see the difference. There are total three bunches.

I have another finish to share which is again from the twelve new starts this year.

This is my first ever card for my mother :)


I call my mother 'Aai' as in my mother tongue Marathi (a regional language from the state of Maharashtra). I don't remember making any card for my mother when I was a kid or even when I was a grownup. I however did cook for her when I was in college.


The design is by Angela Poole from the magazine Cross Stitch Collection, March 2012. I changed the original word 'Mum' to 'Aai' with my own font design to fit in.

I had mentioned about it as a secret stitching gift in this post. I thought I would send her before my visit in April this year but I could not complete it. While at her home, I couldn't secretly stitch and then, back home, I got busy preparing for family vacation so it got dragged again. I completed the stitching last month and instead of turning into just a card, I framed it. I finished just in time, a night before when Raj was about to fly next day to the same city to attend a family event. She was very happy and surprised to receive it:)


It is better I do not speak about vacation photos. I just hope I won't give up posting those after dragging so long.

I am also working on a crochet table runner which is almost done and could make an appearance in my next post.

Have a nice weekend !
Preeti

  11. I think it's a good idea to try out the confetti stitches in a small section of the flowers.Then you can see the difference and if you like it this way.
    The framed card for your mother looks wonderful, Preeti. A great gift for your mother.

  13. This is such a beautiful gift for your Aai. I love the colors, you have a great eye for colors. Just the other day I was complaining that I wish there were designs for Diwali, Holi etc so I didn't had to stitch flowers so many times ;)

  15. Aww, what a sweet gift! I love the dotted paper and it's amazing you found flowers to accent the piece that match the stitched ones! I like the font you designed too. I'm sure she was pleased to receive such a beautiful stitch~ :D

  16. It is always a pleasure to see your lovely work, Preeti, and to learn about your busy life. I am glad you were able to travel this year. In answer to your past post question about the stitches you were concerned about, I think they enhance the design, but you are right that the colors you use may make a difference. I will be interested to see what you choose to do :)

  20. How special! After all that work it must feel good to finish it and gift it. Handmade gifts are the best in my opinion. ♥

  24.  Thank you for such a great post you wrote here and I'm very obliged to write an article here on the benefit of herbal herbs.I am 29 years old and have been diagnosed with breast cancer, ease of treatment and a similar story, except for my first acceptance as a rejection of herbal medicine. I was not part of the Perseid movement and did not really build relationships with any of them, I just believed in their operation. I say this because it was during the use of Dr. Itua herbal medicine that I now attest that herbal medicine is real, the phytotherapy Dr. Itua heals my breast cancer which I suffered for 2 years. Dr. Itua herbal medicine is made of natural herbs, with no side effects, and easy to drink. If you have the same breast cancer or any type of human illness, including HIV / AIDS, herpes cancer, bladder cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, skin cancer and skin cancer. , LEUKEMIA, VIRUSES, HEPATITIS, INFERTILITY WOMEN / MAN, LOT OF LOVE, LOTTERY.
