I just received my first redwork patterns in the mail this morning!
I'm looking forward to having a quiet stitching project to do. My plan is to work small parts of the design that I can use as a component in a quilt block, like in the center of a friendship star or a churn dash. The pattern I have has a wreath of flowers, watering can, garden flowers...
I'm pretty sure I've seen some redwork on the board here in quilts. I just have a couple questions as I'm new to this...
1. My pattern recommends Perle Cotton #8 with a backstitch? Do you use a 'backstitch' in your redwork? How big do you typically make your stitches? Would an 1/8 of an inch work?
2. If ya'll have some inspiration of redwork in quilts...
I would love to see!
