ABC Embroidered Quilt Block – Lion
I love this lion pattern and the variegated thread looks so great on his mane. See…..I’m not always all negative about stuff I make. This ABC project is so much fun to stitch. If you are interested in making any of these blocks, I have placed a link to the pdf (52 pages) just below the photo. I shared these pages with my friend, Karen, and she is stitching them with all three designs — just like the original coloring book — and her first block is so cute. Once she has completed a few, I will post her photos here so you can see another approach.
I just noticed how weirdly different each of the white fabrics look in my photos. They are all made with the same vintage off-white sheet — it’s just bad photography on my part.

I see what you mean about the mane taking a long time to stitch! That is a lot of mane! He looks good, though!

These coloring book designs really do just scream out, “Embroider me!”. Looking through the entire alphabet I can see why you just had to make them your next project – I am filled with all kinds of ideas for them too. Your blocks are turning out wonderfully! I look forward to seeing the entire quilt.

You must have the patience of Job to stitch that mane.
Thanks for the pages, they are awesome! I’d love to stitch up some of them once I get other WIPs off my desk.

What size are you making your blocks and what are you using for the fabric?
