Little Stitches

I absolutely love the look of Redwork and fond of both new and old. There is a simplicity and a rather pure look to it. It also goes without saying that red is one of my very favorite colors.

The above pillow I made and donated to our local Garden Club last summer for a raffle prize.

I am rather tired of these dark and gloomy days and taking pictures that turn out can be rather daunting and challenging to say the least. This little handmade quilt adds a little brightness to a day. This past year I have made a few things and have carefully stored them away in hopes of selling them on eBay someday. For the quilt I used bits of vintage tablecloth fabrics - lots of reds and whites with cherries, roses and geraniums. These fabrics remind me of a summer picnic! It would also be cute as a tablecloth.
Another little redwork piece that I incorporated into a pillow. Where is the watermelon to go with the red and white gingham? Oh, and check out the little cherry print flirty ruffle!
Like so many of you, I adore vintage textiles. This is a sweet vintage kitchen towel with the most adorable playful puppy! Sweet pink and white fabrics coordinate with him and vintage white and blue rick rack and a vintage simple pink button add texture. Now I did not make these, but could not pass them up! At first I was going to use them for pillows, but I could not bring myself to seperating this cute set. Whoever made them did an awesome job! All of the above items are for sale on our eBay site. Our link is on the sidebar for those interested.
