I have mentioned these pillow cases that I found at an estate sale. They are larger than usual and I think I will use them as pillow shams. They still have the directions on one of them. It called for several different colors but I am going to work these like Redwork and use only red embroidery floss. I won’t have to change colors that way and it will get done more quickly. I chose a garnet color that will work well with the items in our bedroom.
It is stained but I hate to wash it yet. I am afraid that the blue stamped design will wash out before I get a chance to stitch it.
I bought the embroidery thread at our neighborhood Michael’s store and also found these beautiful recipe cards at the same time.
They fit together for this photo perfectly. I have a plan for the recipe cards so we will see how quickly I get that one together. Here is a history of Redwork if you are interested in it. https://redworkplus.com/dynamic/?page=3
They will also need a pretty crocheted lace at the edges. I will have to dust off my tiny crochet hooks as I don’t often crochet with thread that dainty.
See you later,
Karen
