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!)
We love that Sarah Fielke was a great sport and did a Summer block as in Australia it’s not summer right now. This reboot is done stitched by Hilary Jordan, Aurifil’s Social Media Coordinator.
We are making the blocks again with AuriFloss and a black and white setting using AuriFloss, wooden spools.. hope you’ve gotten a few spools to try
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! I can’t wait to see all the black & white blocks set into the quilt.

To celebrate Summer… I’m going to make Florence… Florence the Flamingo! I’ve been eyeing it and just have to do it!
Pattern & there may still be some kits! You can TRY HERE if sold out
PLUS… drum roll.. make the block by the time the August block is released at the end of Aug! So share it at the Aurifil page and YOU might be the lucky winner of 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!

glad you love it!
what colors will you do?
I recently bought bought the same
flamingo pattern. Plan to make one for my granddaughter who is due in December.
I am almost finished with a smaller version of Florence he Flamingo and am loving it!
I found a great light box in the toy dept at a local store. It’s the perfect size, lite weight, nice and bright and best of all, a fraction of the price of those sold to “mature” artists. Hey, if it works, I will save my limited income for other supplies.
I just got the Florence pattern. I need to start looking for fabrics 😉
I love this re-do with black and white. THANKS for visiting these designs again, I did miss the original.
I’m SO LOVING this Aurifil reboot. Thanks
