Redwork block 4 – patches

11-7-2013rwI drew this picture of patches thinking about when I was a little girl perhaps 7 or 8 years old, I had a pair of soft light pink knee-high socks that I absolutely loved. I wore them so much that I wore the heals out of them. Mom sit down with a couple small pieces of soft plaid material and patched the heals of my socks. I was so excited and happy. I wore them until they were so thread bare that Mom finally threw them away.

Wishing you all joy & success in crafting.

Redwork block 3 – fishbowl

11-6-2013rwThis little fishy in a fishbowl, I drew with sweet memories of when I was a child and won a goldfish with a bowl at the fair. I sure loved my goldfish and the joy of winning it on my own made me feel so grown up. lol Seriously, it was amazing how many of the ping pong balls bounced over the bowls of water. Year after year, we’d go to the fair and one of us kids would always bring home one or two goldfish that we’d win.  After a week or so, we would put them in a gallon jar or our aquarium. Some of the goldfish lived for a couple years in our little farm pond.

Wishing you all joy & success in crafting.

Redwork block 2 – butterfly

11-5-2013rw
A lot of my pictures are snippets from memories. To me my butterfly is reminiscent of the butterfly designs that were so popular back in the early/mid-70’s.
I remember earrings, necklaces, key-chains, bracelets, Tee-shirts, notebooks, posters, decals, embroidery patterns & other groovy stuff donning butterflies. 😉

Wishing you all joy & success in crafting.

Redwork block 1 – cat face

11-4-2013rwI’m using one large piece of white fabric that I’ve sectioned off in 10 inch blocks. I did this because I intend to try to dye the blocks a light beige with rit-dye and hopefully it’ll resemble an aged fabric or a tea-dyed fabric. I think the large piece of fabric will be a more even dye and easier to handle.IMG_5665I’m using pictures drawn by me. Hopefully, I’ll be posting a redwork picture a day during the week. I’m hoping I can stay on task until I get them all finished. However with the holidays approaching, I may have to set it aside some days.

I hope you’ll surf by from time-to-time and check on my progress.

Wishing you all joy & success in crafting.
