This week I am working on a redword mini-quilt. My first block is completed. I am using designs from Anita Goodesign's Baltimore quilt collection. I am using cotton Size 30 red thread as recommended by Martha Pullen. I attended one of her workshops years ago and she made this suggestion. I think it gives it more dimension with the larger thread. I also purchased red bobbin thread for this project. I haven't decided on the red fabric for the fabric squares. I have a few reds in my stash and will audition them when redwork squares are completed.
Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day. We did breakfast with my son's family. Of course, one of the great things about is being a mom is that then you get to be a grandma. I truly enjoy spending time with the two granddaughters.

Are you doing the redwork by hand or machine? I love this type of design in cross-stitch or embroidery. In fact, I've gotten to where I would much rather work on a project all in one color rather than all the big colored patterns I used to make when I was younger, had more time and my eyes were better. :) Have a great day!

I am adoring this....
