This was the stitch along I did under Anita's instruction through her blog at
Artistic Fingers. It was an 8 week long class. I never realized how many different stitches were in this motif!
I just completed my last lesson in Chikan embroidery. This week we did the Eyelet stitch (Rozan) and Wave stitch filling (Jali). The eyelet is at the bottom of this first photo. It looks like eyelets with holes in the centers. The wave stitch filling is the area inside the center heart. To me this was probably the most challenging because a graph is used. Once I got the proportions right for the graph and understood the pattern to follow, however, it went pretty quickly.
