I am the host of Aurifil’s Designer of the Month program for the last 6 years. And during that time we have had so many cute projects from our fantastic designers! I suggested to the Aurifil we run the 2012 Embroidery Block of the Month again as it’s darling and many of you might have missed it! (I know.. hard to believe!)
Our May block is designed by the talented Thimbleanna, the May Pole!
We are making the blocks again with AuriFloss and a black and white setting using AuriFloss, wooden spools, yummy colors.. yes please!
Some designers used the 12wt, which is equally yummy. You can get my Hometown thread Kit which has a spool of each weight for you to try!
This is the original quilt done in 2012, you are going to LOVE these blocks!
PLUS… drum roll.. make the block by the June 29, 2017, share it at the Aurifil page and YOU might win a set of AuriFloss threads!

I’ve been tracing with this super nice lightbox. it is VERY reasonable and makes tracing so much easier to do than taping to a window! Yes.. that is what I used to do ..eek!

thank you April, it’s fixed now!
Fixed!
It is!
I love the designs and has spike my interest in embroidery again. I am lost. I used to do embroidery and used a carbon type paper to put the design on the fabric.
May I ask how you transfer the designs now? I feel like an idiot for not knowing or having the time to figure it out.
thank you
Click on the block itself, the area where it’s outlined with dashes. Took me where I could download May’s block.
