Stitched Redwork Quilt

I finished my redwork quilt last weekend and I am so excited to put up all my Christmas decorations now!  In fact, I had all my kids and grandkids haul up all my boxes with my decorations from the downstairs, so they are scattered in boxes all around the house!  It usually takes me 2-3 days to put up all of my decorations, but for the most part, I take my time and just enjoy it.  I usually have a little helper or two, so it goes up pretty quickly.

Here is my newest redwork project, to add to my collection:

This is going to go in my bedroom with my bedspread and pillows .  It matches pretty good, even though they are from completely different pattern lines!

This is not a big quilt, so I added the two outside borders to make it a little bit bigger.  I love the plaid border on this quilt, it really makes the inside stand out a lot more!

 Here is a close-up of some of the blocks.  Aren’t they so cute and whimical?!

 I found this swirly, fabric for the back that reminds me of  snow.  I did not put minky on this quilt because I knew that it was just going to be for show and not to use.  So there was no need to add the minky to the back.  This was really easy to quilt with the cotton back also!  I also love the candy cane stripe for the binding.  It finished it off just right!

If anyone wants to make this for next year, this pattern is from Bird Brain Designs and the name of the pattern is Snowmen & Reindeer Bluework Quilt.

Also if anyone wants to do some Christmas sewing, here are a couple of other ideas:

Do any of you have a lot of projects going on right now?  I sure do!  I still have a baptism quilt and one gift for Christmas that I am sewing.  But I still have a month right?  I’m good.

I hope that you have a great day!  Love Ya!

    1. Serafina, Thank you so much for taking the time to write your comment. I appreciate your kind words. I love doing Redwork stitching, it is relaxing to have a project like that that I can just pick up at night and work on it while I am watching TV or relaxing. Thanks again.

  1. this is really beautiful! Did you do the stipple quilting over the embroidered blocks before or after doing the embroidery?

      1. Thanks! I’m doing a quilt with embroidery and I didn’t want to “run over” my embroidery with my quilting, but yours looks great, so I’ll be brave and try it. Thanks so much for your help!

        1. Debbie, If you are a good quilter you could stipple all around your quilting, but I do not think that it takes away from the stitching by doing an all over pattern either. Good luck with your quilt.

          1. Thanks Rita! I have been quilting around the enbroidered blocks to avoid the embroidery, but it’s stressful…ha! I’m not an experienced quilter and it’s not for the faint of heart. Thanks for your help and encouragement!

    1. Ella, You are welcome. I love anything that is Redwork, so this is one of my favorite quilts. Hope you have a wonderful day!

  2. Love this Christmas quilt to! Beautiful! The different prints you set it together with are awesome! Happy quilt because of the different prints! I want to make one too!
