Redwork



This is my contribution to Kirsty's community redwork quilt.

My square is (um, supposed to be!) a cherry tree. I appliqued it using red silk dupion, red silk thread and red shell buttons.

Red is such a lovely colour to work with.



I have really enoyed being part of a community project. You should see the amazing creations people have come up with. Take a look over here.

    I am loving all the spashes of red popping up everywhere at the moment. When my WIP pile is a tad smaller I think I will have to give it a go myself :)

    I really like your red work and don't like the underlying, I am not sure about it tone. I think it looks really good Liesl
