A Few of My Favorite Things Swap
This project is a
modern take on
redwork Embroi-
dery in quilting
has become very
popular again
and I wanted to
work this tradi-
tional technique
into a modern quilt
Inspired by fellow

came up with nine
drawings of some of
my favorite things
that I thought would
make for an inter-
esting composition
in a redwork quilt
