I am a Redwork lover (or bluework or greenwork or any other same color work). It is easy in that you don't have to worry about whether the next line to embroider is a different color and it let's me work and watch TV at the same time without worrying about color changes. It is also the first craft I learned as a small child when I stitched my embroidery work to my skirt! And even with this mistake, I still enjoy embroidery today.

Debra Feece found an antique quilt at an outdoor flea market and grabbed it up. She shares 25 of the 72 patterns in this book. Maybe we can talk her into sharing the rest in another couple of books so that way we too can recreate this wonderful antique quilt.

The patterns range from flowers, of course as what antique quilt is complete without a flower or two, to birds and animals. Debra provides a page of general embroidery instructions and there is even a photo of a throw pillow as a suggestion of other ways to use the patterns.

If you are a craft teacher or a lover of embroidery, take a look at NATURE'S BEAUTH IN REDWORK. You won't be disappointed.

The designs in this book are very beautiful and unique in the art of redwork,anyone who is serious about redwork embroidery should have this book in thier collection!

I can't wait to get started on the redwork designs in this book. They are gorgeous! The only thing that I would have liked to have had different is a cd to go with it so I could choose the size of the patterns.
