Redwork Block I

 29 blocks from my vintage redwork block collection.  I am guessing at c 1900 for these.  Some designs were available commercially and some as you can tell are original designs by the maker. 

Click HERE for the patterns.  Redwork is a fun take along when traveling or for those times when you have to wait for appointments.  I like to do them while I watch TV also.  

Trace the patterns using a light box or a window. I use a red permanent pen Sakura Pigma Micron.

Use a good quality fabric such as Kona Cotton Quilt Fabric

Cut 10 inch  squares and trim after stitching.  Use your favorite embroidery stitch. I usually use the stem stitch. 

Have fun!
