Aussie Floral REDWORK RUNNER

The light and airy lines of traditional redwork designs are great when digitised for stitching out on all types of projects — quilt squares, tea towels, napkins, clothing, home decor items and more. While they were traditionally stitched in red thread, you can use any colour your heart desires. Dawn has generously supplied the redwork embroidery design she has used here.
