Hi Indira,
Beautiful and soothing piece of work!
Got inspired from your pictures and I ordered the embroidery pattern from the link you have provided. Had a question though regarding the size of the mandala. Did you enlarge the pattern? I printed the pdf and the mandala is 4″ in diameter.
Thanks
Kavita

Hi Kavita,
I did. I think about 10 times to the original, if I remember correctly.
It’s a beautiful pattern, lovely to work with. Hope you’d find as much as joy I did working on it.

Just Beautiful, Indira! You have tons of what I don’t have. Patience!!!

I also adore the country style couch behind the embroidered pillow.

Thanks Indira for your reply. Means a lot to me.

I’m knitting a scarf now and planning to knit a hat as well.

I’m planning to make the mamoul cookies again this Sat. for a party. Love the fact that the recipe does not have eggs in it. Will try brushing the cookies with milk this time.Wish my cookies would retain the design even after baking like yours. But does not matter ‘cos ultimately they taste great.

Hi Indira,

Good to see your design. I am planning to buy a sewing machine. I am a beginner and live in oklahoma. Can you suggest any good models as you have good experience.

Thank you friends for such sweet words. I greatly appreciate the affection!

Hi Rashmi: Thanks and Yes, I did sew the covers.

Hi Vani: Thanks.
The whole thing was done on chain stitch. The leaves are with back to back stiching, and I did the flowers with french knots.
If you try this design, could you email me the finished photo. I would love to see your creation. Thanks.
