Dear
readers on this blog you have observed many patterns of patchwork portraits
done by my mom. Inspired by her beautiful work I have also thought of trying
patchwork. I know that I can't match with her neatness in hand embroidery but
still attempted one of dancing lady pose of patchwork and posting the same
here.
As
always background is done with cotton fabric. I used very simple stitches like
filling buttonhole, herringbone, feather stitch, satin stitch, chain stitch and
couched trellis stitch. Her saree is filled with random cross stitch. Hairs are
done with stem stitch filling. Let me know your opinion on my first
attempt of patchwork.
In my
upcoming posts surely you will get tutorials of all above-mentioned stitches.

Beautiful..but isn't this applique? How is patchwork different from applique?

Yes Deepa, You can call it as appliqué too, but we were taught it as Patch work.
Patchwork and appliqué - both are somewhat similar terms. I think the word “patch work” used in broader sense. The literal meaning of appliqué is “Patch work created by applying fabric to a background”
If anybody knows more about “difference between patchwork and appliqué” Please share with us.
