Flora/Fauna REDWORK R#2

--1 REDWORK quilt block

--1 partner

--use only one color red on each block

--finished block 6 ½Ҁ

--embroidered area approximately 5 ½Ҁ leaving a seam allowance

--any Flora and or Fauna theme-senders choice

How about swapping some REDWORK embroidered quilt blocks? That sounds good to me and ohsewaddicted, so letÒ€ℒs do it!

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 ½Ҁ. 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.

I will angle this swap but will publicize any flakers.

Questions and concerns are always welcome.

I love redwork but I am a beginner and the back might look really bad. Come to think of it, the front might not look so great either- Will this offend experienced stitchers?

MissPaula, how about you and I do a private swap to start you out....I'd love to if you are willing. I'll send you a PM and we'll talk!

My pattern was already waiting for this swap to be posted. A little hint: useful insect...

I'm waiting to join the next bluework swap, too.
