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 partnerâ€™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. Have fun! IMPORTANT: 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!!

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.

Yeah, #4! 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.

My theme is going to be trees. I LOVE them in a whimsical way - circles, swirls, doodled, etc. Feel free to mix with felt and fabric.

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