A little bit of redwork




Last year when we went on our Ridgecrest Retreat, Ros organized a lot of activities for us, which consisted of swaps, giveaways and such, it was a lot of fun....in one particular swap we had to draw a stitchery ready for someone to stitch...I was lucky to receive this lovely one from Leanne, which I decided to do in redwork......I found it the other day, tucked away in the 'to do pile', and I remember talking to Leanne before we went to Ridgecrest and she said that she actually got up at 5am one morning to draw the stitchery, I felt guilty, I thought if someone can get up at that time to participate in a swap I should do the stitchery, so here it is all finished...thankyou so much Leanne I really enjoyed doing this.

  1. What a lovely stitchery - Leanne is very clever to be able to draw like this. It looks beautiful in redwork. Did your son make the frame?

  4. The little houses are so charming. I've made so many embroideries over the years that I have decided to join them up into some kind of quilt or coverlet.
