BOM Floral Hand Embroidery #2 IRIS

BOM Floral Hand Embroidery #2 IRIS

August 1, thru August 30

Do you love hand embroidery as much as I do? Lets make one 6 ½ inch block OR LARGER for our partners each month from the list of flowers shown below.

--one 6 ½” block or larger senders choice (100% WHITE cotton fabric)

--one partner each month

Each month we will HAND embroider on a white quilt block a different flower for one partner. Each block should be 6 ½” or larger allowing approximately a ¼” unembroidered space around the outside. Please note that blocks can be whatever colors senders care to make and it doesn’t have to match the sample picture on the swap. Do not embroider a 3 inch flower on the block, try to fill up as much of the 6 ½” space as you can. (REDWORK, BLUEWORK or multi-colored - sender’s choice)

NOTE: recipients may post below if they’d rather have all REDWORK or multi-colored blocks and senders can chose to accommodate or not. Recipients, please be sure to rate according to swap requirements not your color preference.

So remember that just because the sample picture on the swap is all REDWORK or multi-colored that doesn’t mean the block you receive will be as well. This is sender’s choice and they have the option to do one or the other.

Depending on interest there will be 8 total blocks in this series. Recipients may want to put them all on the same project or use each individually.

Here are the flowers:

--iris in August

--pansy in September

--peony in October

--poinsettia in November

--rose in December

--sunflower in January

--tulip in February
