Oh Thanks so much! I do love the hand work too. It is very relaxing. And redwork is my favorite.
The next one I am doing also has the mixed quilt squares and embroidery sudabug. It is supposed to be done in blackwork, but I am doing it as a redwork too. It is called, "Over The River", by crabapple hill. I am tracing it off today to the panels. :D

Hand embroidery is very easy stitches Esqmommy. It is mostly the stem stitch which makes up the lines and the little dots are a french knot. There are many stitches to hand embroidery that you can use. My sis goes to U Tube to learn new things. I bet they have a tutorial there for this too.
Hi Bev ...This is the site for the redwork iron ons ..... http://lacetales.com/ The basket came from www.crabapple hill.com I went there when crissie posted her snowman wall hanging and fell in love with it. p.s.) I found your booklet I am going to send you. I just need to find an envelope and get to the post office. I am thinking monday, I hope.

Your pillowcases are just beautiful! I love redwork.
I really like the patriotic work too---what are you going to do with it?
How long does it take you to make one of these pieces? I love to do embroidery but it takes me FOREVER to do it!!

Hi girls ... Thanks so very much for your support, it is music to my ears.
Hey marcia! :-) The (crabapple hill) patriotic one is supposed to be made into a pillow according to the pattern. But, I have no idea what it will turm out to be .... giggle, giggle ... you know us girls and how we change things.
I am not sure how long the hand embroidery takes, I pick them up for a while and then lay them down so much, it is hard to tell. It isn't something I would want to have to make in a hurry though. Know what I mean?
I bought two more patterns from crabapple hill from e bay, yesterday. I was the only bidder, so it was at a great price because there was free shipping. It is a witch's Hat with embroidery all over it and a pumpkin pattern with crazy patches pieced and embroidery. I am looking forward to making them. They will be fun to display during the fall.
