Design of the week – Simple Kutchwork border

Her, I am sharing Kutchwork border, simple one.

The design

This includes very basic motifs of Kutchwork. This can be embroidered with single color thread , or motifs and the square with different color threads. I have used two colors for the motifs and different color for the border.

Embroidered

I have used , Anchor skeins for this work. I like to use cotton threads for the Kutchwork, because it gives the perfect filling interlacing look. You can see this in the closer view.
