I finished one portion of this embroidery today.Thank you Lakshmi for your beautiful video tutorial of the network embroidery which I have used for the flowers.I am happy at the outcome.I had great difficulty in matching the correct colour of threads to suit that of the material as it a two tone silk.
I would like to try the same kind of embroidery in a solid colour silk sometime later.
For the leaves I tried the long and short blanket stitch and it looked convincing.For the stem part I used two strands of silk thread and didn't like it.So made the stem stitch in single strand which I think looks good.I love stem stitch.

Hi Mahalakshmi... Loved this work of yours. Very beautiful colour combination. Can you please tell me how the petals are done. Thanks a lot...
Hi Geeta,I was very busy packing as I was getting ready to leave to the US to be with my children.So I couldn't reply you immediately.The petals are done with blanket stitch(button hole)stitch.There is a wonderful tutorial in Lakshmi's blog and it is very easy to follow too.
Thanks a lot Mahalakshmi.... Hope you are enjoying your stay in U.S.
