Bought this design from ‘L’aiguille en fête’ held at Parc de Floral – Paris on March 2005. The exhibited one was done in green color but I preferred to do it with shaded red; earlier started with metallic thread but did not work out for this project.

Ordered from Thailand; it took some time to reach Paris. The kit included everything like green cloth,threads and instructions. A subtle composition with few bright colors, never fails to attract attention.

Another design from ‘L’aiguille en fête’ held at Parc Floral de Paris on March 2005. Santanu started this project with great enthusiasm as it looks simple with single color and very clean design; but after doing few stitches he gave up and I have to finish it. The design is complicated as there is only one color and very difficult to navigate between holes. One simple mistake and the line will not be straight any longer as one proceeds and have to redo the whole section.

Second kit that I ordered from Thailand. I gifted the same to my mother-in-law.

This is typical Santorini church where domes, doors ,windows are painted in blue and walls in white. We went there in October 2004. This picture came out quite good so we framed it and gifted to a close friend at Paris. The blue frame with white mounting seems to be a perfect combination.
