Show and Tell Day for the Once Upon a Story Row Along!

I am so excited to share with you my finished Goldilocks and the Three Bears block for the Once Upon a Story Row Along.

In my first post I shared my thread sketching/painting technique.  I hope that you gave it a try!

Then in my next post I shared my hints and tips to add color to your blocks using Crayola Crayons.  This is my finished block using the crayon technique.


In the directions I also suggest that you could use Inktense pencils and blocks to add color.  I am still planning on posting a tutorial on that, so be sure to subscribe to my blog so you don't miss it.

This is my finished block using the Inktense pencils and blocks to add color.  I also used the Northcott Stonehenge Gradations fabrics to create this block.



A final suggestion to creating my block is to use the patterns for applique.  There are many ways to applique, but one of my favorites is to use my embroidery machine.

This is my block appliqued in the hoop with my Babylock Spirit embroidery machine. I also used the Northcott Stonehenge Gradations Fabrics to create the appliques and the block.



I digitized the blocks, and need to do some more tests before they will be available for purchase in my store.

Let me know which of the three is your favorite in the comments below!

Be sure to check out the other pattern designers show and tell posts.

Additional Notes About Giveaways From Our Sponsors
I am not rich and I do not ask sponsors for money, they provide prizes only.
If they shipped the prize to me, you will be asked to pay for shipping.
All giveaways will be shipped that are in my home on each Saturday of the event.
An invoice will be sent to you via Paypal, and shipping will take place via Paypal, so your Paypal email will be needed to send the invoice. You will receive a tracking number except for overseas shipments. Depending on the weight of the prize, first class is always my first choice, but priority mail will be done where needed. Paypal fees are added to that amount to cover that fee.
Please note, every effort is made to protect the prizes. They go into a plastic bin when I receive them, and it is covered by an airtight cover. I have a dog in my home and I have a smoker in my home, so I do everything possible to protect the prizes.
Most companies are very good about getting prizes off to customers quickly also, but some companies are overseas, so please allow all sponsors a 2-week time period before you report to me that you still haven’t received your prize. When the company is overseas, it can take 6 weeks to 90 days for an item to also arrive.

    1. They are ink that becomes permanent with liquid (water or aloe vera gel). The hand of the fabric doesn't change. I just wish they were not so pricey.

  4. I like the last one the best overall, but the second one's colors draw me in.

  5. I have been wanting to try the Inktense pencils, they seem to give more brilliance to the colors. My overall favorite is the applique though I do not have an embroidery machine. But I love applique.

    1. I agree about the intense color with the Inktense products. You can still use the pattern and create an appliqued piece without an embroidery machine.

  6. I like the last block done with the applique designs. Like the blue color way of second block. Thanks for sharing!

    1. I wanted him to look wise. I debated what to give the Mamma Bear, but everything I drew dated her. Maybe later I will think of something.

    1. The first one was made with some retro prints I had with a nod to the 30's and 40's. It brought back memories of my Grandmother.
