Flora/Fauna REDWORK R#4

an International swap

05-12-11 thru 06-11-11

--1 REDWORK quilt block

--1 partner

--use only one color red on each block

--finished block 6 ½”

--embroidered area approximately 5 ½” leaving a seam allowance

--any Flora and or Fauna theme-senders choice

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”. Use only one color red per block, picking any flora and/or fauna theme you want 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.

Note: The BLUEWORK quilt block swaps call for smaller blocks than the REDWORK swaps, so be sure to cut these to a full 6 ½ inches after embroidering.

We will have at least 12 of these swaps, and possibly 16 if interest continues.

Questions and concerns are always welcome.

I would like request Kona White as my base colour please.

I haven't done redwork before. Is it usual to use a range of stitches or just a simple, say, backstitch?

perkl8r 05/ 2/2011 #

@rosiefsw yes, sinple backstitch, using only one color of red, but if you want to use more stitches you can!

@princesspudge I'm sure your partner will use the best white fabric that is available to them, sadly not everyone has access to Kona White.
