A lady posted pictures of her redwork Christmas quilt that she did all the redwork embroidery while commuting by train to work last year. She used a melody of Christmas fabric that she got from Keepsake Quilting to tie her blocks together.
I have looked everywhere and can't find her post. I am trying to track down the pattern name. Thank you for any help you can give me in my search. Bon |

Are you talking about the quilt that has snow people in the middle (all different size blocks of redwork) with pieced blocks as the borders? Check out this quilt. The top embroidered piece says 'walking in a winter wonderland'. It is a pattern by CrabTree Hill I think.

Also, a little hint (if you didn't know this already) is that when you're doing any kind of embroidery, use a piece of muslin on the back of the square to be embroidered. It hides any loose threads so they don't bleed through. I also did not use 'red' thread. It was dark coral - DMC 349 - which shows up red when done. Happy hunting.

That's a good tip, the muslin in the back. I'll have to remember that!

Bonnyh - Do you do anything to keep the two pieces of cloth together? How do you keep it from puckering or shifting? I have this pattern to do and am pleased to see finished ones and suggestions on how to go about it.
Thanks Nancy

That is just gorgeous! Thanks for the hint and for sharing your beautiful quilt with us Bonnyh!
Bon, good luck in finding the picture you are looking for. I am inspired by these two reed work quilts and I am looking forward to seeing more. |

This is a picture of the quilt pattern I am looking for. |
Ta-Daaaaaa!!! I found the pattern. It is called "Holiday Redwork Pattern", and is available at Erica's or The Stitch Connection. Not sure, but they might be the same place.
Thanks to all for trying to help me. Now I have the names of other redwork patterns for future use. |
