Redwork Quilts & More by Laurene Sinema

Popular in the late 1800s, Redwork is enjoying a resurgence today. Redwork was the first embroidery available to everyone since it was done with the first colorfast COTTON thread. Embroidery was previously done with silk thread and enjoyed only by the wealthy. With the advent of redwork, homemakers eagerly added beauty to their homes with redwork on dish towel, scarves, pillow covers coverlets, quilts and more. Many of today's designs feature the traditional themes of nature, children and animals. In Redwork Quilts and More, Laurene Sinema provides 174 designs and plenty of tips and basic "how-tos". Although the projects are mainly Redwork embroidery, remember that you can add green for a Christmas quilt, use exclusively blue floss, or use any colors you wish.
