Redwork er rett og slett broderi i èn farge, fortrinnsvis med rødt bomullsgarn. I gamledagse kjøkkenbroderi var det ofte brukt rødt eller blått til broderiene.

Fakta sakset fra nettet:
Redwork
Redwork became popular in the late 1800's because of a colorfast thread made in Turkey, from a secret recipe.
Up until then, colored threads did not hold their color in the wash and therefore, could not be used successfully to adorn everyday items like bedspreads or dish towells.
The simplicity of redwork designs, and the fact that they were embroidered with very simple stitches on inexpensive muslins, meant that nearly everyone could have decorated linens. Children often learned how to embroider on "Penny Squares", little designs printed on muslin and sold at the general stores for a penny. Redwork quilts were mostly "summer weight" linens, meaning they had no batting. The Redwork squares were usually stitched together without sashing, and either quilted to a backing with a feather stitch or simply tied with string or yarn.
When synthetic dyes began to be manufactured in the United States, the popularity of Redwork diminished and embroidering with colors became very popular. Redwork can be embroidered in any color, Bluework is still Redwork, only it's done in Blue, and usually called Blue Redwork.

Så fina broderier och intressant att läsa om redwork.
Trevlig helg!
Å, så fint dette var! Lærer stadig noe nytt her i bloggeland:)
Min oldemor hadde noe slikt hengende på veggen på det lille kjøkkenet sitt. trro det var til pynt. det hang på en liten "gardinstang" som en gardin, men var all for liten til det!
Nydelig håndarbeid. Jeg har ett pyntehånkle med slik broderi, men har aldri visst at det heter redwork.
Ha en flott uke
Dette ord havde jeg ikke hørt før. Fint håndarbejde!
Nog har jag sett många såna röda och blåa broderier, men jag har aldrig kunnat ett namn på det. Tack för tipset om vad man söker på, dina verk är flotta :)
Så fine broderier:-))
Og du, angående det at du aldri har vært på Rørvik - det hadde ikke jeg heller før jeg ble kjent med samboeren min. Det er liksom ikke noe sted du bare svipper innom på vei nordover for å si det sånn. Men om du kanskje en dag tar en tur med hurtigruta har du en anledning til å gå av båten og ta en titt mens du venter.
ante ikke at noe het redwork men fint var det,
F
Det har jeg aldri hørt om.., men det var flott! Særlig det første likte jeg godt:-)
Ha en fin kveld!
Det er korrekt, dette komer fra Tyrkia.
Takk for at du deler dette med resten av ABCerne.
Snygg tolkning!
Dette var nytt for meg. Hver uke lærer jeg noe nytt her inne på bloggen. En flott R. :)
Kjempelekkert. Ser at du behersker brodernålen. Har så vidt prøvd meg, men det var ikke min "greie".
