I’m doing some redwork embroidery for a quilt when I’m sitting around watching TV. Here’s a look at a few of the blocks which are all worked on bleached muslin and there’s a lot more to do:
Country Girl Through & Through
I'm a country girl from the western part of Virginia in a small community of New Castle/Craig County. I've lived in Craig all my life-eighteen years with my parents and siblings and forty + years with my wonderful husband.
We have two children, a boy and a girl, and two grandchildren, all of which we love very much. We live on a 500 acre+ farm that has been in my husbands family for over 200 years. We are raising beef cattle, chickens, rabbits and a couple dogs.. We grow pretty much all we eat or harvest from the farm and I can't imagine living anywhere else.
I love to create, craft, quilt, read, write, decorate, crochet, candlewick, bake, bow hunt, cook, garden, farm animals and walking/hunting in the woods. I love sharing our home with family and friends.
I hope you enjoy the posts that I enter on my blog and hopefully will be helpful and/or fun to all that read it.Top Posts & Pages

Thanks girl! I’m working on it every night now and during the days when I can’t get out. We’ve got a glaze of ice this morning or I would be out on a cleaning job. The peacock block is halfway finished and waiting on me this morning.

These are really nice quilt squares. I love the redwork. I also didn’t know what that was until I read the other comments above. I will be waiting on pins and needles 😉 to see how the quilt turns out.

Beautiful, who are you making it for? Never heard of redwork, but of course I don’t embroider.

Redwork is embroidery using only red embroidery thread. I’m a little partial to red so it works. I’ll tell you more about the quilt when I see you! Secret!!
