    hi madhu :hiya,
    was expecting you! thank you, but to repeat what i wrote to sunitha, you have a lot of time this will be there when you find the time to do it!!:thumbsup
    you should ask jaya_mg or artvani about where you can get your designs transferred onto fabric, they will have an idea. or post it in the thread about embroidery classes in bangalore- i'm afraid i didnt visit bangalore after 1976!Big Laugh

    Thanks Su, I will definitely take time out to learn these. I was surprised to see so many variants, as i thgt Kantha was all about Running stitch. I have done a saree just with running stitch way back with some chamkis on it. Have I had this information, i cud have been little more creative. I will try to post the saree some time later. Now just waiting anxiously for the designs. :thumbsup:cheers:bowdown:bowdown:bowdown
    Please come to Bangalore, You may stay with me.

    Thanks for sharing the tutorial and design pattern.It is very useful and excellent presentation.

    Also saw your saree-blouse.I am not at all good in selecting colors.So I think better suggestions will come from experts.It one looks nice yaar.

    Thanks a lot.
