This is a DMC variegated thread and it’s very subtle — sort of a red, fuchsia, pink and orange, but it’s difficult to see in the photograph. Since the fireman drawing doesn’t have anything obvious to use as a fill for the letters, I decided to draw some flames. There are a couple of other blocks where I’m having trouble coming up with a fill pattern, but I’m sure something will come to me eventually. I’ve started sewing the second row together — just finishing up the embroidery on the last block. When it’s put together I’m going to hang it up and photograph the first two rows. I’m very happy with the way the sashing looks with the letters.
I love the color in the F is for floss. 🙂 It will be fun to see your rows!
Your embroidery is so well defined and neat! How many strands of floss do you like to use? The flames on the F were a great idea! I am also looking forward to seeing your first rows.

I’m really enjoying these alphabet blocks!
Love the flames!
