Hi Shirley,
I believe they are talking about RED work. A specific type of outline embroidery. It is when you use all red embroidery thread to do a picture or image. Not just embroidering itself. It was a craze and started during the Victorian era. You see?
I love redwork and have made many many pieces. It is important to add the blue colored pieces were called Blue work.
