Embroidery 101: Block Five
Did I say block four was my favorite? I meant to say block five. Since buntings are everywhere these days, I thought it might be cute if our quilt had one. I’ve written “happy” in mine {and on the pattern}, however, you’re more than welcome to change it to anything you want {love, family, fun, fresh…were all contenders!}. You could even put a short name in, if you’d like. Or put a couple different stitches in each one to look like varied fabrics. It’s up to you, but I thought it would be a great way to personalize your block.

This new block uses the Chain Stitch and Fly Stitch from last week’s tutorials, as well as the Lazy Daisy, Double Cross Stitch, Back Stitch, and French Knot.
As an option, you could also customize the flowers in the corner to suit your fabrics, if you are feeling very adventurous!
Once this block is finished, you’ll be past the half-way point! I hope you enjoy stitching it as much as I did.
Cute, cute, cute!!! I love it! Can’t wait to get started on it!
Holy cow, this IS the cutest block! Love all those flowers, especially the Echinacea! <3
Thank you again! I just finished block three and am going to work on these two when I travel this weekend.
Awe, I love it! I just finally started my last one…what a couple of weeks! =)
Thanks for your work on this for us.
Wow Jennie! That block is amazingly cute! I so need to learn embroidery, my hand stitching is rather scary, but I may just try again just to make that block! Thanks so much for sharing!

Yay! I finished in time….I didn’t think I’d make it…and only a day to spare. =)
