I am intrigued by redwork; am currently working on a sunbonnet sue pattern;  plan to incorporate it with alternate log cabin squares.

Very cute. I did this pattern last year but instead of a table runner I framed it

and hung it on the wall. Fun pattern to do.

I finished my Snowman table runner. It is a Bird Brain Design.

I appreciate the feedback on the thread being colorfast.  I have always had a fear that the thread would bleed.  I also appreciate the information from all of you about the stitches and especially about the warm and natural batting being used under the project.  It makes a lot of sense, just had never thought of it before.  Thanks for all information from each of you.

Yes I do stitch thru the batting, doing this also stabelizescthe embroidery work and ithink it makes it stand out a little. I usevwarm and natural basicly because I use scraps from quilting projects but you can use what ever kind you want as long as it is not fluffy.

Thanks for your suggestions, Birdie.

Judy, this may sound like a dumb question, but do you stitch through the thin quilt backing when you do redwork?

I want to invite all the Red Threaders to participate in one or more events in the Year of Red/White Quilt Challenge that I'm hosting.  There are 3 different virtual quilt shows, a Design It! Challenge and a Make It! Challenge.  All forms of quilting and sizes, but they need to be red and white.

Monday starts the first virtual quilt show which is for any red/white quilt that was made prior to 2014.  

The more events you enter in the Year of Red/White Quilt Challenges the more chances you have to win sponsored prizes.

I think small stitches are prettier and lay so much nicer. I put a piece of light weight quilt batting behind my piece so I don't need to worry about threads showing thru. I took a Brazilian embroidert class and this was one of the things the instructor suggested to do. It also prevents the knots from showing thru.
