This summer, Pepper Cory called me and asked me to make a 16 1/2'' block for her. The only rule was that I had to use the Peppered Cotton Fabrics she designed for Studio e Fabrics. I l thought its sounded like a fun project and I loved the idea that there was only one rule, so I had the freedom to do what I wanted.
I think Pepper was surprised when I picked out all green fabrics, but it is a current design mode I am in right now. I use solids for my fabrics and then I use contrasting threads so my stitches really pop. If I am going to go to all the work of spending hours doing embroidery, I really want to be able to see them!
So here are the colors that I picked:
I was so pleased when they came and I got right to work with them making a fan block.
I chose pink threads so that they would contrast and show up really well on the fabric and it was so easy to embroider on it.
Here is a close up of the fabric. I just loved the feel of it!
I was honored to be asked to work on this project and here is a list of the other designers that participated in the projects.
