Redwork Quilts & More: Quilting, Stitchwork, Embroidery

by Laurene Sinema

Carry on the tradition of redwork embroidery! The crisp combination of a red and white quilt has long been a favorite of antique quilt collectors. "Turkey work," as it is known in Europe, was born in 1881 in the pages of Harper's Bazaar. Later, the individual squares were sold for a penny, hence the term Penny Squares. With the charming patterns and instructions within Redwork Quilts & More , you can embellish quilts, pillowcases, hanger covers, aprons and more to bring adorable accents into your home. Although the projects are mainly Redwork embroidery, remember that you can add green for a Christmas quilt, use exclusively blue floss, or use red and blue floss for a patriotic themed quilt. Carry on the tradition of teaching the craft of embroidery to a child and create a new set of memories for the future, with Redwork Quilts & More !
