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

Beautiful redwork. I'm just learning about it...is it similar to crossstich, or more like quilting without the sandwich?

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.

Beautiful redwork. I got "stuck" at the Crabapple Hill Studio website. I haven't embroidered in years, but I'm thinking I just might have to order a project or two from there. Such nice patterns.
