Sew Random Colorful Hand Embroidery #1

March 3, 2012 thru April 3, 2012

Do you like hand embroidery work as much as I do? If you do youÒ€ℒll want to join this series of swaps. We will be making one quilt block at least 6 1/2" OR LARGER with any theme of hand embroidery pattern and colors the sender wishes to make.

--one 6 ½Ҁ OR LARGER block hand embroidered in any pattern and combination of colors senders want to make

--the only regulations beside the size of the block is that the base fabric must be white or off-white or pale cream, or a muslin base will work as well

--one partner

The blocks we mail will measure at least 6 ½Ҁ OR LARGER allowing a generous ¼Ҁ seam allowance around the edge of the block so that our handy-work will not be hidden in the seam allowance when the blocks are assembled. Be generous with your work and donÒ€ℒt make a 2Ò€ picture in the middle of an 6 ½Ҁ block.

This will be an opportunity for you to try that cute embroidery pattern youÒ€ℒve been thinking about making. Be sure to do your best embroidery work and press the block before mailing.

Group members with a 4.80 or better rating may join.

Questions are welcome, PM me, or attach below.

I'm wondering if it would be better to allow any size of quilt block as long as it is 6 1/2" or larger?......looking for some input please!

I would be inclined to join if it were a little smaller - like 6 1/2". I worry about filling all that space of an 8 1/2" block.

perkl8r 02/23/2012 #

Ok, I like that input, how about we say the block should be at least 6 1/2" or larger, but not smaller!

I'll change the swap if no one objects.

changes made, so do we have any takers now?

CraftyxPT 03/ 3/2012 #

will this just be a 6.5" or larger square of white/cream/off white with our hand embroidered design, or do we sew a border or something?

I forgot all about this and now I am too late. Boo Hoo!
