Hi Shweta,

Sarah,
I was so excited to receive your email this morning with regards to the changes on your site and the new stitch challenge. I immediately came to download April’s and March’s designs so I can join the fun. I have learned so much over the few years I’ve been following you. Thank you for all you do to make that learning possible. Sandya, Swathy, and Cathy thank you for sharing your work. Tambour has intrigued me for a long time, but I have not found anyone in my area that knows the technique to learn from. Sandya, I love the color combination your used for April. Good Day to all of you!
Hi sara I tried a lot but it was not perfect but still unsatisfied and it was a very good embroidery sketch. Thank you.
Hi Sandhya!
I was travelling and could not respond to you earlier.
Love the colors and your attempt.🩷
Warmly,
Sarah
Thank you Sara, your response will fill me with new energy.
March Challenge
What a great effort, Swathy! I love the way you have mixed paint to make it vibrant and added stitches for texture! Bravo!
Thank you, Cathy, for participating in the March Stitch Challenge. Your application of Tabour Embroidery is terrific!
Ma version en point de Beauvais. C’est une broderie au tambour avec de tout petits points et toujours dans le même sens anti-horaire
My version in Beauvais stitch. It’s a tambour embroidery with very small stitches and always in the same counterclockwise direction.
