One of the best things about blogging is getting to know so many wonderful people I normally wouldn't have a chance to meet! Today I want to share something the wonderfully talented Rosemary of Roses Petite Maison gave me just because she knows I collect redwork and thought I would enjoy them.
She sent me two redwork pillowcovers! One that says "Good Morning" and the other says "Good Night".
Here's a close-up of the design. Beautiful in it's simplicity isn't it!
I love embroidery of all kinds but redwork, also known as Turkey Redwork, is my favorite!
I like the way redwork looks with toile, especially black toile which is what I have in my bedroom. Thanks so much Rosemary!
Also, I promised my daughter that I would show the paper mache polar bear that she made in art. So here's.......Kellog. Isn't he cute! He has such a sweet face!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Your daughter is so talented-good job!
Redwork is pretty. My mom made me a little gardening girl-I'll have to share her one of these weeks.

How sweet! The pillowcases and Kellog:)
Oh, how I love redwork. I have a bunch of patterns that I got with the intentions of doing some of my own redwork. Then I couldn't decide which one to do first! Love the polar bear, it's adorable! Your daughter is so talented.

What a thoughtful gift! They are beautiful! Thanks for sharing:)
Manuela, those pillowcases are great! What a fine gift. Also, your daughter did a great job on her project.
Love the pillow cases. You just don't see this kind of wonderful craft much anymore. I remember my mom's sets were ALL embroidered.
And you tell your daughter she is VERY talented. LOVE the polar bear. I can see why she wanted it shown...she should be very proud of her work! If I were the art teacher, it's a definite A+ grade!!!!
My show and tell is posted now. Come by if you can find time. See you there! Happy Friday, happy show n tell day.
Manuela,
I'm thrilled to see that you are once more blogging....I enjoyed The Feathered Nest immensely....
The red and white pillow covers are beautiful...Red is a color I use often in decorating....
Kellog is cute as can be...talented daughter...the apple doesn't fall from the tree, does it?????
Blessings,

What a wonderful embroidery
job. I wish I had the patients to still do this. I would put my dads name on hie work shirt when I was a kid. It was fun.
The pillowcovers are lovely - I have not heard of redwork before. You captured it perfectly with your statement "Beautiful in its simplicity".
Kellog is adorable!
I LOVE redwork. It it something I am working on myself too. Not quite there yet, but I'm getting better. (but I tend to be a perfectionist).
Your daughter did a wonderful job. Kellog is adorable.

Kellog is pretty cute, too! You have a talented daughter.

Have a great weekend!
That Polar Bear is too cute! She did a great job.
I love the rework, too. I always admire the pictures I've seen of it. That would be a great winter project to take up!

Beautiful pillow cases. That bear is darling!!
Dear Manuela,
I love your redwork pillow covers. They are so beautiful and they go with your black and white toile perfectly! That was so sweet of Rosemary!
I love Kellog! Please tell your dear daughter she did a wonderful job making him and is very talented like her mom!
Thank you for letting me know the name of that shrub, Beauty Berry. That is a good name for it. I am sure your tiny acorns are sweet. I do not know why these are so big, but in our back yard there are some even bigger.
Have a lovely weekend!
Paula
The redwork pillowcases are stunning!!

I like the redwork, but I love the polar bear! She did a great job - no wonder she wants to go to the art school.
Beautiful redwork! It definately looks great with your toile. Wow, your daughter is very talented, Kellog is perfect!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Kellog's very cute! And what pretty pillowcases your friend sent. :)
Needlework is one of my favorite handmade items. Those pillows are beautiful. I love Kellog too, he is so sweet. She did a great job on him!

Ok now! Rosemary needs to be my friend too, I adore the pillow cases. I have wanted a set for about 20 years! I never found the pattern. They are so so wonderful!
Your daughter really did a great job on her bear!! Maybe she could make the red work. Just hoping! If anyone nows where I could get the pattern for the red work pillow case, I would love it so much.
I just love coming to your blog...every time I leave inspired. :)
Love the redwork! I have been looking for cases like that for a while.
Your daughters bear is wonderful!
Hi Manuela,
So glad you liked them. They do look very pretty. You are very welcome!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Rosemary

I LOVE Kellogg!! He will make a sweet winter decoration.
He doesn't look like the typical "art" project...He looks like something you could buy. He looks great!! In fact, I would love to have him myself. He just makes me smile.
