Hey Red...How are you? Hope you had great holidays. Thank-you so much for the link for Alex's redwork quilt-love it-downloaded the whole thing. Its now on the "I want to do list" I didn't even realize Alex still had her own web site. I do get the Alex & Ricky newsletter in my e-mail.

p.s. I so want spring to hurry up and get here...yes aching to garden again.

thanks those are cute :lol:

Thanks! I love Redwork!!! :P

Your so welcome everyone :-D Have fun with it.

Hi crafty lady! Good to see you too. I am just staying in away from all that cold as much as I can this year. I do have some seeds to start soon to tide me over till spring. It is kind of fun to see something growing anyway. Do you wintersow outside??
I bring in a few geraniums and put them into a sunny warm room to overwinter them. They usually bloom all through the winter. That is how I make it through those bleek days of snow and cold.

Nice talking to you ... Have fun with the redwork! :)

what a terrific find!

I copied them...

A question---what do you think the best method to transfer the flower patterns to fabric would be?

Red I brought in as many of my outdr. plants as I could possibly stand. This is only 3th yr living back in snow country and all my memories of livng in Seattle are slowly coming back to me...lol.Now I went and added a puppy to my family and she is pulling up several of the 250 bulbs I planted....hmmm..lol.
But still loving it. My yd gets put on hold in the winter and my craft rm gets lonely in the spring & summer.
Take care and thanks again for sharing so much, I came across several helpful links from you today.

There are several different ways to transfer and its been a number of years since i have done it but seems I remember using a transfer pen w/ alot of success.
Here is a useful site:

What a pretty quilt!

Thanks for the site you gave. I got Alex's patterns and was wondering about the best way to do this. Have not done this kind of stuff since my girls were small.
