Red Work


One of the things I love is red work. I started doing
red work because I was always sitting in places
waiting for children in lessons. I could take red
thread, a needle and scissors and I could keep
my hands busy while I waited.

These are from patterns I bought from Bird Brain Designs.

This one is from a pattern called Redwork Quilts
by Tricia Cribbs. I like making little quilts just
so I can be finished in one day. I enjoyed red
work so much before I discovered rug hooking.
I have a very busy weekend. There is 3 birthdays
this weekend, so I don't think I will be doing much
sewing. Lots of cooking.
Have a wonderful Friday. I will be planning menus
and buying food and getting it ready for this weekend.
Happy Friday!

If I ever did redwork, I'm afraid my artist side would take over, and I would make it in blue, or purple, or green. Still, it is very pretty in red. :-)

Blue, Green and even black is very pretty too.
I just never did it in that color. If you let the artist take over in you, it would be your own drawing and not a pattern. :)

Three birthdays! That makes a memorable Memorial Day!

Wow, How nice to see you! Yes, then I found out about a couple more we will be celebrating on Saturday. The cake is going to look like a billboard with so many names.
