Quilt Blocks

This set is designed to use Variegated Thread. This means areas with lower stitch count and fewer changing colors so it speeds up your stitching. But it also opens up to using the nature of variegated thread to add shading and depth to your embroidery. And it’s fun to see each section and how the colors come out! No two pictures will ever be exactly the same!

These designs are very easy to put together!  You stitch each section separately and then zig zag them together.  full instructions are included. 

The next to last image is from my software showing the various sections of color.  As you can see they are large sections which speeds stitching.  It's the Variegated thread that adds all the various shading and detail. 

FINISHED SIZES OF EMBROIDERY:  Medium – 18 x 12 inches, Large – 21 x 14 inches, Jumbo –25 x 17 inches.

For these Mandalas I used a metallic gold thread (BFC ME-006) but different colors can be used. Colors could even be used in combination i.e. for Christmas you could use green, red, gold and white or even just gold and silver, for Autumn you could use gold, red, and a rust. Each Mandala with its own color. These are just some possibilities. For a full selection of the different metallic colors we have please go to the following link  BFC Metallic Thread

There are a lot of ways you can use these designs.  Stitch a wreath for a label for the back of a quilt.  Stitch a wreath with one or more letters in the middle - they can be used for quilt blocks, towels, pillow cases.  Put one on a blouse and add your monogram.  I'm sure I'm just touching the surface!  It will be fun to see what everyone comes up with.

Steampunk is often related to Art Deco – especially in Home Décor Items. If you want these blocks to be used with Steampunk, I would do them in more metallic or dark green or brown colors. 

To use them as just Art Deco, use colors like the black and red, but also peach, green, blue lavender – just about any colors can be used. 

Each design has basting stitches at the beginning in case you want to use Angelina or fabric as an applique.  You can zig zag the satin stitch borders together or trim the blocks with a fabric border all around as I did in the sample.  The instructions include how to make the sample type quilt.

I wanted to do some designs for the younger set, but with a little more to them than just cartoons. I think these hipster pets are just the thing! They are cute characters, but are still very similar to the real animals. These come in
Small, Medium and Large. The Medium and Large are smaller than they usually are so they will still be appropriate for smaller clothes. These would also make a really cute quilt!

You can do these designs with two colors or stitch them all in the same color.  They would make very interesting designs with variegated threads or metallic thread!  You can also put a small design or initial in the center of the designs.  For colors, in addition to the red and black, I suggest trying two shades of the same color. For example I think beige and light tan would be really pretty.  These are great fast stitching designs for last minute gifts too!

I used our BFC Poly #2832 - it adds real shimmer to the designs. Since I was making this for Rick's couch, I found the small checked fabric in the border panels gave the whole quilt a nice tailored look.

Medieval embroiderers used vibrant, rich colors they could obtain from the earth. Reds, Blues, Greens and Ochres abound. These designs stitch with no jumps except for a few facial features and the outlines on the shields. They are appropriate for quilts, linens and wall hangings, but would also make interesting designs for a tote bag or the pocket of a garment.

The herbal designs in this set are based on botanical art done before 1501. It was interesting comparing them to modern day plants. Some were very much the same and some very different! The redwork blocks are my own artwork following a Medieval theme. My mini quilt below, made from the medium size designs, is 25" x31". By combining the squares in different combinations along with the border designs you can make a quilt, wall hanging or place mats and runners of any size. Each design has an outline of the square that stitches last so you can decide whether you need it. I used it to make sure I cut all my squares the same size. :)

Kinetic energy is the *extra* energy possessed by a body in motion. These squares coordinate and are sized the same as our other two Kinetic sets: Kinetic Circles and Kinetic Circles II. These designs have NO JUMPS. There is both the one color version and multi colored versions of each design. They are appropriate for quilt blocks, scattered on clothing - especially scarves and wraps,or a lap throw or quilt. Combined with the circles you would have enough for a large quilt with hardly any repeats. These designs lend themselves to all kinds of color combinations and will also look great in metallic or variegated threads for more variations.

Kinetic energy is the *extra* energy possessed by a body in motion. As I did these Circles II they reminded me of gaining momentum as they swirled around. These designs have NO JUMPS :) There is both the one color version and multi colored versions of each design. They are appropriate for quilt blocks, scattered on clothing - especially scarves and wraps,or a lap throw or quilt. Some of them remind me of snowflakes and could be done in iridescent thread on a dark background. Changing the order of light to dark threads will give a totally different looking variation.
