Bluework Embroidered Quilt Square--International

I love embroidery and quilting, and the color blue, so I thought a Bluework embroidered square would make a nice swap.

Bluework is just like Redwork except (duh!) for the color. Blackwork Is a little different being mostly outline shapes filled with geometric patterns.

Simple outline or line drawing images are best, (as in a coloring book) and you can do them in just a stem stitch, or combination of stitches, or cross-stitch, as long as you only use one color of blue in your thread.

The square is to be a 5" square of good quality cotton cloth in white or pale cream, and the image should only fill a 4 x 4 area in the center, with a blank border area, and a 1/4" seam allowance all around. (See the swap pic above ^)

Wash your fabric before embroidering, press it after and keep the stitches neat. Package it in a zip-loc or similar baggie, slipped between two pieces of cardboard, chipboard, etc to keep it protected, and tape your envelope well--the post office machinery lately has been a little shred-happy! :(
