This time the lines of the doodles did come out a bit darker. If you are planning on stitching in a lighter color, like myself, I would recommend 4 strands or more of floss. I only used 2 and the lines are showing a bit. The printed blocks haven't arrived yet but once they do they will be available in my shop to purchase.
This block has tons of little details. It's taking me a little longer to stitch up than the first block but it's also fun deciding the stitches and what colors to use. The fridge is blank but could always use a cute kids drawing. No plain pot holders for me, so I think I'll stitch them with a pattern. The window outside needs a season...as you can see there are so many fun decisions to make.
I wish Aries was a bit older, not that I am rushing anything, but I really think this would be a great starter embroidery project. Her kitchen would more than likely be filled with pinks and she would need to stitch a little cupcake on the counter. That girl loves her sweets!
My block is going to be a little different than the one I envision she would make. Once it is all stitched up I will share it in it's completeness. If you decide to stitch one up I hope you'll share yours too ... after all that's part of the fun.

Amanda, this is amazing! And I can't wait to see the finished project. I think you should be writing an embroidery book!!! xo Helena
Oh my gosh! I'm jumping out of my chair right now! :) This is so cute, Amanda! I love it! Thank you so much for making this your next block!
I think your drawings are lovely! I was wondering do you need special paper to transfer your design onto the fabric? I have seen the heat transfer pens and was just a bit confused about what to use?
Can't wait to get this one! So fun
