Favorite Redwork Designs

A fresh approach to an old idea.Betty Aldermans' designs are updated and fresh, not the dour old penny square designs of yesterday. Her book contains 80+ designs and clear, complete, and easy-to-follow instructions for making eight projects. But that is just the beginning. The botanical, gardening, and small bird and animal designs lend themselves easily to mixing and creating your own original. The teacups and teapots are terrific. Best of all, Sunbonnet Sue finally received the facelift she so desperately needed. Alphabet Sue is just perfect for child's quilt. Sue with a tennis racquet is precious. I never thought I'd see Sue at a Xerox machine--definitely not your grandma's Sue.If you're looking for a fresh approach to redwork, this book is for you.
