I do redwork also. Rite now I am working on Christmas blocks for a quilt. When I am done with that I will work on a snowman one for my DD. I did the stack and whack and really enjoyed it. I am also taking a class at my lqs. We do a block a month and it is all applique. It is also to show us how to use the decretive stitches on our enbroidery machines for more than just enbroidery. There are so many new ones that I want to try. I have a notebook where I write them down and as I do them I check them off. Believe me, the list gets longer every day!
