This is a picture of one of the Placemats I am making for Christmas gifts. My question is with the Redwork embroidery and the Red Toile is it to busy?
|
It's beautiful! Have you tried putting the solid red next to the redwork? I think the redwork would really pop then. Then use the pretty read print for a border? Then binding it in red? Just my two cents worth! It really is pretty.
|
I think it looks really nice.

Another question, did you do this redwork on your sewing machine? If not, where does one get redwork patterns to hand stitch? |

k here it is with the red and the toile switched
|
These are so nice. I too think I would like the triangles switched. With red binding I think it would really bring attention to your beautiful redwork!Oh I see you did it love them this way!

here r the last 3 options (because I think all toile would be to much), I'm not usually this indecisive but since they are for gifts I want to get it right lol
|
I like the last options 1 and 2. Anything you do will be wonderful!

Patricia- I have a Brother SE350 that does the embroidery, but I know all the craft stores that carry embroidery supplies have the patterns for redwork, I can't remember the name of the most common one but they are in yellow and white envelope style packaging. And I get most of the patterns for my machine from "designs by JUJU" on line.

I agree with Wolfkitty.
|
Oh I don't think the toile makes it too busy at all! I think it is a fabulous transition form the embroidery squares to the solid red. Very pretty!
|
I like your first picture, too.....toile next to the redwork, very complimentary; I'd bind in red.
I'll send you my address by PM so you can send mine for Christmas. :wink: Jan in VA |
I think they will be beautiful whichever you decide.
|
I like the toile with the red work!
|
It's so pretty! :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
THe first option is my favorite..
|
nope, red triangles next to redwork and toile above and below works well. go for it. lovely work!!
|
I like option one and two. It really shows off your work.
|
Not too busy at all!!!!!!!
They are lovely! :D |
I like your original one the best, then bind in red.
|
