Red & White: American Redwork Quilts & Patterns

Name: Red & White: American Redwork Quilts & Patterns
Author: Deborah Harding
ISBN: 0847822443

Deborah Harding

Harding's book is the historical and documentary reference for redwork — the American tradition of embroidering simple designs in red thread on white or muslin blocks, popular from the late 1800s through the early 20th century. It's organized around antique examples and pattern history rather than a modern how-to. Pair with Mandy Shaw's Simply Redwork for the practical, contemporary stitching angle.

Mandy Shaw

Where Harding's book documents redwork's history, Shaw's is the modern, practical stitch-and-make guide — heart-shaped blocks, pincushions, keyrings, and small bags built around the same red-thread embroidery tradition. Designed for someone who wants to actually pick up a needle today, not study antique examples first. A good pairing for a redwork beginner who wants history and practice covered by two different books.
