I finished lesson 4 of Chikan embroidery. We did the Whipped Back Stitch (Pashni), Detached Chain Stitch Variation (Phanda) and the Roman Stitch (Banarsi). The names in parenthesis are the corresponding Indian names of the stitches. Don't ask me how to pronounce any of them. Below is what my stitching looks like so far with a light coming through.
Any of you that know me know how I love lace and the more stitching I add to this the more it has the feel of lace. It looks and feels very delicate.
Anita will soon be offering this free class again. To find out the details visit her BLOG or click on the link on my sidebar.

Wow that's lovely! I'm enchanted now to say the very least...I must have some more exposure to this type of stitching. Making my own lace!!! Wow! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful work. I can't wait to see what the finish will look like!
