Textile Museum of Canada

I came across this site from Eager Needler site.

I searched for India's images and found a big list of 69 pages with some 800 images.

All the art and craft work is extremely beautiful and I thought I should save this and share with my readers.

Embroidered Neck Piece

Inspired by one neck piece design on Etsy, I made this embroidery.

Can be completed in little less than 3 hours.

Kashmiri Neck Design

Inspired from Jizee's blog, I tried my hands at this simple chain stitch

work with Mercerized mixed color thread.

Kantha Work Blouse

Check out the Kantha work embroidery I did on a blouse piece. Picture is not doing any justice to it, it is more brighter.

Kutchwork Saree

Atlast completed the embroidery on this saree. I did it non-stop in the beginning when my father was around but after he left, it was difficult to do with such fast pace with a baby in hand.

But, I am glad I completed it and sent it to my sister. Could not take better pictures because in the last minute, a friend said she can take some stuff to India and off I sent it through her. Later realised that I didn't take a picture of that one.


Picture is not even 10% closer to how it looks exactly. I will take a better picture when I go to India next time.

Bandhini Painting

I had started with some picture in mind but ended up with a different one altogether.

This really looks very childish like to me and immature with the kind of colors I chose.

It does't go with any kind of decor in the house.

Not so happy with this one.

Types of Embroideries

Useful site on different types of embroidery.
