I spend way to much time surfing the internet looking at stitchy-sew-y-crafty-things. The plus side of it is that I come across some great ideas, some new and some old. Redwork, believed to have originated in 19th century Europe, refers to needlework done with red cotton thread. I fell in love with the old designs and have been thinking of something to try. Trees are trendy right now so I gave this a try, I would love to do something more elaborate when I have the time. Speaking of time, I'm suppost to be spending this time (right now) painting my back room! Not posting on my blog. I wonder what kept 19th century women from thier chores ? Hmmm

I love redwork. I think put a bird in the next tree. I sure wish drawing was my specialty. I saw a bag the same style as yours (from last post) today on Eli/Sophia's diaper bag. Very handy, with that grommet.
ReplyDeletea bird in the tree would have been perfect! you could have told me that SOONER. next time I need to post a pic before I'm finished.
ReplyDeleteThis is so so nifty. Really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteyes redwork is great. I did some blue work on patrick's 2yo quilt, he likes it well enough :)
ReplyDeletehmm, christopher will be 2 in a few months. guess I should think about his quilt and how I haven't even started it yet, huh...
