Embroidered ABC Quilt Block – Clown

Posted on June 1, 2009July 27, 2015 by Martha

This clown was made with a skein of vintage American Thread floss. I really like the colors, but when I started stitching, I realized that the sections of color are much longer than the DMC or Anchor variegated and multi-colored floss. To me this gives the clown a very different look compared to the puppet — at first I wasn’t happy with it, but I’m okay with it now. I can get pretty obsessed with stuff like that.

This is my 95th post (beginning December, 2008), and I’ve decided to have a give-away on my 100th post. I guess I will just do the comment thing — I was afraid it would appear that I am just pandering for comments, but that’s the way everyone else seems to operate theirs, so that’s probably what I’ll do. It’s been fun coming up with stuff — I have lots of vintage items to include — mostly transfers, books for children and fabric — so check back in a week or so.

    I usually prefer longer sections of color in variegated thread. I think it looks less choppy.

    I really like the effect! I looks like you used lots of different colored thread, rather than varigated!

    I like the clown! I agree with Jan, it does look like different threads instead of variegated. I like that it is a little different from the thread you used for the puppet so they don’t look too similar. He’s such a cute clown.

    I think a giveaway is nice, but if you really want to stand out, you ought to have a carnival or a circus in honor of your beautiful clown.
