SASHIKO EMBROIDERY - FLOWER TURTLE SHELL DESIGN

After a long break I have started to post in my blog. Recently, I started engaging in Sashiko embroidery. I have used the "flower turtle shell design" for this cushion cover. I feel this design is very cute and beautiful. This design is done by stitching running stitches in three different directions. After finishing stitching in two directions, when I started stitching in the third direction, cute flowers started forming one by one. It made me feel as though jasmine flowers are blooming one by one. White flowers amidst the dark background look eye catching and remind me of a star-lit night sky.

My first attempt in Igne oyasi (Turkish lace)

Now a days I am fascinated by needle lace.I tried to learn watching internet.I did not understand the language.I tried in the web.
Translation was not good.Somehow I managed to learn  the basic.I do not know which thread they use.It looks like our cone thread.I am sure it is not the same.It looks as though it is stiff.If any one knows please let me know.Here is my first attempt.
