Hi,
This Monsoon , decorate your homes with bright and beautiful pink lotuses that dates back to 1970 , the time when I wasn't even thought of in this world ...!!!
Once again , I bring before you another motif from my mom's collection ...
This is a patchwork design , done in checks , dotted , or simply solid coloured clothes . Starting with an outline stitch on the traced pattern and then leaving the seams ( for folding inside ) , cut the extra cloth , then patch it on the main cloth , at the desired ( and already planned and marked places ) , in buttonhole / carpet stitches ... Well , this was ( and is ) the way beautiful patchworks were made then , and are made today , too ...
This can be done on cushions ...
Patch it , embroider it , stencil it or paint it on fabrics or on any other surface ...
Rotate the design as desired --- diamond , square , inside out ... ( whatever suits your eyes )
Repeats are beautiful too ...Stencil it , repeating it to give an over-all print look ...
The above aqua coloured print will give any wall a new and fresh look ...
Heavenly white with pinks .... a print for fashion fabrics and for paper ...
And last is an all-over lotus pattern with some swirls ...
Have a nice time with these fresh lotus patterns .
Stay tuned to see what next week has in store for you all . More of vintage collection --- revisited and remixed --- to give a contemporary look . I'll try to dig out more patterns and motifs from my mom or from my grand-mom's '' SUPER - TREASURE - TRUNK '' ...
