Bluework R #6

05/11/19 thru 06/11/11

--Bluework embroidery on a 5” square -one blue color per block Simple outline or line drawing images are best, (as in a coloring book) and you can do them in just a stem stitch, or combination of stitches, or cross-stitch, as long as you only use one color of blue in each block. The square is to be a 5" square of good quality 100% cotton fabric in white or off white, and the image should only fill a 4 x 4 area in the center leaving a blank border area of approximately one inch. Wash your fabric before embroidering, press it after and keep the stitches neat. Package it in a zip-loc or similar baggie, slipped between two pieces of cardboard, chipboard, etc to keep it protected. Tape your envelope well—don’t let the post office machinery ruin your efforts.


1 partner—one 5” completed square-- mailed during swap time limits

Any particular theme on the designs or shade of blue? Lisa

@Leeame usually a bright blue is used, and theme is up to the sender

Note to all praticipants: please be sure to cut the piece to 5" after you do your embroidery work, send your best work on clean fabric, thank you!
