Redwork embroidery designs in the traditional style
Redwork is outline embroidery stitched in a single colour, traditionally red on white. It became popular in the late 1800s and is still loved today for quilts, tea towels and samplers.
Machine redwork is quick to stitch, light on the fabric and easy to wash, and it gives a lovely vintage feel to any project.
