2012 Block of the Month - Redwork - Facts of Life
Today, I'm revealing the first part of my 2012 redwork design, Facts of Life! This is the banner across the top - although there is more to the banner. This is the part that needs redwork.
The banner is stitched on a 4.5" by 21.5" background, and I used a WOW. I did most of it in backstitch, with straight stitches on the dandelions and French knots in the middle of them.
Video directions for the backstitch can be found on Needlenthread.
The .pdf file is here called FOL.pdf. There's an alternative a, in case you like the other kind.
The first of twelve blocks will be posted here the last Monday of each month.
Here's a button for those who like buttons on their blogs:
A list of block links is in the sidebar.
