My prayer-partner-and-forever-friend Allie has just shared a beautiful Redwork Christmas pattern on her blog and that got me thinking about how wonderfully comforting and homely I find Redwork embellished items to be.
Here are some especially useful designs which I imagined being just right for displaying on Christmas gifts or included in the festive decorating of our homes.
First of all HERE is Allie's joyous free pattern, Oh Ho The Mistletoe...
THESE cute chooks by Shellie Wilson are definitely going to be added to my personal stitching list...
Love cross-stitch? THIS tree pattern from a French designer is gorgeous...
What about a lovely Redwork heart? You could sew one of THESE monogram initials into the centre!
The heart pattern is HERE on Mary Corbet's wonderful site...
And don't forget that my nine Redwork blocks from The Vintage Kitchen are still available as free downloads HERE in my shop until December 31st...
It's very relaxing to stitch a Redwork embroidery, isn't it?!
Just one single colour.
Love it!
If you love Apple Pie but can't have a wheat or gluten crust, you may like to try the pie I made last weekend...
I've shared the full recipe over HERE on my Cooked Simply, With Love blog.
There's also a quick recipe for making Vanilla Coconut Cream (in case dairy is your nemesis).
Today Mr E are I have a little adventure ahead of us.
No idea how it will turn out, but it could be life changing.
And then again, it may all be a fizzle of nothing much at all.
Either way, it's not bad. Just different.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!
hugs
Lovely redwork ideas, Jenny and enjoy your adventure.
ReplyDeleteWhat ever your journey is I am sure it will turn out for the best.

Love the redwork. Hope your new chapter is all that you want it to be! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a teaser! I hope whatever your adventure is/was, it turned out well for you today. Thanks for the apple pie recipe, and for the links. I love those cute little chickens!
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely patterns. Is the November stitchery club available today to purchase? I have hubby's paypal ready to go LOL.
ReplyDeleteGracias por tantas ideas. Deseo para usted que se cumplan sus mejores espectativas. Un beso. Bless you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing my pattern, my friend! I too love redwork and those little chicks are going on my list for sure. I LOVE doing all one color - no thinking involved, lol!!! And there's something so comforting about red and white....
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the redwork links Jenny and that pie looks delicious! Christine x
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the links! Have a joyous day....
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing all of these wonderful ideas.
ReplyDeleteJenny, These are all wonderful projects! Thank you for sharing each and every one of them; my Christmas presents ideas are tripling thanks to you and all that you have shared. If I do not get to them this year, which is very likely, I have made a pact with myself that starting in January...I will be making gifts the entire year. I hope that you have a wonderful creative day!
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy working with one color at times. May you and Mr. E have a wonderful adventure dear. Blessings...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely links, Jenny. xx
ReplyDeleteNew here. Where do I find the link for the chicken design? Sunny Side Ip. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat blog post was ten years ago, and it loks like the website that pattern link came from is no longer active.
