After thirty years...( part 1 )

   Hi to all the smiling eyes ,

                       '' After thirty years .....'' is not about a suspense thriller , yeah dear , nor is it about any murder mystery...! It is about some treasure which I borrowed from my mom , to share with you all ( aha ! the mystery ends here ) .

                  And , before I start to write anything concerning these designs , I must tell you all very honestly that these are  NOT my original works . As I earlier told you that these are all ' borrowed ' from my mom's collection .

                I know that many of you will find some of these designs still in your collection . These are from a magazine ''SOVIET NAARI '' ( 'naari ' means ' woman ' in Hindi ) A complete woman magazine of its time , covering all the issues , from cookery to stitching and knitting , from political to parenting and kids' crafts ...

                  A lovely magazine revisited . As I don't have many designs left , I'll share all that is left with me , in this post , and a few in my next posts as well . The designs are presented as it is , but I've only given them colours ...





            I know I love this doll... so cute ...






            Corner designs ...





                  I myself embroidered this on my pillow case , ages ago...But now I think it will also look lovely on trays and especially on glass-painting...





          Border design repeated twice more for a dense look .






           A single pattern ...



             More designs are on the way ... And before leaving , I'll once more tell you all that these are  NOT my original works ...

           So , bye bye , see you next week with some more of my mom's collection .
