REDWORK your theme R#3

an International swap (very light weight to send)

July 17 thru August 13

--1 REDWORK quilt block

--1 partner

--use only one color red on each block

--mailed block 6 ½” or larger

--embroidered area approximately 6 ½” leaving a seam allowance

--any theme recipients request (please post below and try not to be too hard to please)

Your base fabric should be white, off white, pale cream or as light a tan as you can find of 100% cotton fabric.

After embroidering the quilt block cut your base fabric to 6 ½” or larger. Use only one color red per block, any theme your partner requests to embroider on it. Do your best neat-&-clean work, iron the block, package it nicely and send off to your partners along with a note stating the swap name and your name.

Since this is open to everyone I've decided to set the lowest rating to join at 4.8. Unfortunately it has been my experience that ratings lower than 4.8 are too high a risk of flakers.

Questions and concerns are always welcome.

Be watching next time when the theme will be birds!

I would love a fish bowl/tank with fish, or an unusual/interesting basket with flowers, or quilting scene or quilting lady or sewing lady.
