Description:

This will be a series of monthly swaps, but you don't have to join each month. You will have one partner each time. The stitcheries are 6 x 6 inch finished and can be used for a quilt, a wall hanging, a pillow, a tote bag, or whatever you like.

Make an embroidery on a piece of 100 % white or off-white cotton in the theme and color of your partner’s choice. The embroidery should fit in a 6 x 6 inch square, so make sure your fabric is 7 x 7 inch.

Because it's stitchery you can use primarily basic stitches: backstitch, running stitch, straight stitch and French knots.

After signing up for this swap, please go to the comments section and post your theme and color(s). IF YOU FORGET THIS, IT WILL BE SENDERS CHOICE!!

Have fun!

My theme is cats. Just use the bright colors you think you need for this embroidery. I only want to know which embroidery threads you used, so sent me a note with that info please with the embroidery.

I would like a Valentine theme again please. Anything valentine related...like hearts and flowers together. Thanks!

csjoyeuxnoel 04/ 7/2010 #

Woodland creatures, please. I really love owls, squirrels, deer, birds, hedgehogs, bears, anything like that.

My favorite colors are deep purples, lovely shades of greens, blues, neutral colors like brown, black, gray. Mostly dark, rich tones.

Thanks!

My theme is flowers; color (or colors) is sender's choice. I'm going to use a variety of fairy fabrics to encompass these into a wall hanging, so the flowers can be realistic or fantasy. I'd also like my partner to be sure to sign and date the block, where and how is her choice. Just be sure to put it on the front, and not in the seam allowance! :-} I like to be sure the artist gets full credit for her work! Thanks for doing this again.

i would like anything bicycle, dragonfly, sailor jerry, vegan related, or even my name (keni), i am very easy to please! i would really like the colors turquoise and orange, but i am open to other colors as well. i'm not picky!

igobylorib 04/13/2010 #

I would any of the following themes for my embroidery: * things found in the woods: mushrooms, gnomes, deer, hedgehogs and trees * circles * houses * flowers: think funky and doodled rather than realistic

I love when felt / fabric is used in conjunction with embroidery stitches. My favorite colors are red, light to medium shades of green, all blues especially turq and aqua, black and orange.

I'd like to go with nursery rhymes for theme and either bolds or pastels can be used. Thanks

nattyj 04/25/2010 #

Flowers, birds, trees please. Not the classic design, more modern, doodled stitchery-fun& whimsical. Any colours is fine. Thanks.

camelsamba 04/28/2010 #

My preference is for flowers or other plants, insects, or birds. Open to whatever style and colors!
