    Choosing threads:
    I used the same threads for all twelve blocks in Posies even though the borders and
    applique sections feature a variety of different fabrics.
    I chose the thread colours by laying out all the fabrics in front of me and selecting ten
    which featured prominantly in the assorted fabrics. That’s a good way for you to choose
    the threads you will use as you stitch along this year. When brought together as a quilt in
    December there will be a lovely ebb and flow of blended tones.
    To download the complete quilt requirements for Posies pop over here to the blog
    where I have made up a file you can print and keep.
    http://www.elefantz.com/p/posies-block-of-month-2021.html
    Included in that file are applique instructions and basic stitches used throughout this
    quilt project, plus a list of the supplies I use for applique and hand embroidery.
    POSIES – block 1 – applique and embroidery

    • Trace the design onto the centre of a 5” square of solid cream background fabric,
    omitting the applique shape.
    • Prepare the applique shape using a fusible bonding web, such as Vliesofix
    Bondaweb, and fuse it in position on your traced block.
    • Blanket stitch around the cup shape with a single strand of matching thread.
    • Fuse fabric stabiliser behind the prepared block and let’s stitch!

    Use two strands of thread unless otherwise instructed.

    • Chain stitch the handle of the cup in Pink (or the same colour as your applique
    thread).
    • Backstitch the base of the cup in Pin.
    • Sew a line of Green chainstitch along the centre of the cup base.
    • Backstitch the lavender stems with a single strand of Light Green.
    • Sew stacked Pink colonial knots for the lavender flowers.
    • Sew Pink cross stitches over the lavender stems.
    • Backstitch the flowers in Red and satin stitch the centres in Blue.
    • Sew Green lazy daisy leaves around the flowers.
    • Trim the block to 3.5” square
    Make the block:

    Cut, two 2” x 3.5” lengths of border fabric


    Cut, two 2” x 6.5” lengths of border fabric

    Sew the 2” x 3.5” lengths down both sides of the embroidered block, pressing the seam
    away from the stitchery.
    Sew the two 2” x 6.5” lengths across the top and bottom of the block, pressing the
    seams away from the stitchery.

    Put the block away until December when all 12 blocks are complete.
