Aug 27, 2008 - Quilt Patterns, Redwork    No Comments

Are you seeing red?

Our new designer this week is Arlene Ward of Designs by Arlene.  She has two popular series of redwork that focus on things that grandchildren do with their grandparents: “Me and Grandma” and “Me and Grandpa.”  

Me and Grandma Baking is one of the redwork blocks. 

There’s also Me and Grandma At the Fair, Baking, Churning, Feeding the Chickens, Going to Church, Having a Tea Party, In the Garden, Trimming the Tree (we are very busy, Grandma and me). We’re also Quilting, Sewing, Shopping for Fabric (we are kindred spirits!). Make one and frame it or use it as the focal point of a quilt. Make a few of your favorites and frame them for a grouping or use them to make a small quilt for your grandchild. Make all of them and create a beautiful quilt.

Can’t forget Grandpa – Here’s Me and Grandpa Fishin’

 

Look for Me and Grandpa Building Together, Camping, Playing Ball, Picking Apples, and Sailing.  A quilt made of these would make a great gift for your grandchild and for Grandpa too.

Arlene does not restrict herself to redwork; she has other projects also. If you have any energy left after all those activities with the grandkids, try this beautiful Fall Festival Table Runner.

And for Christmas, Peppermint Pinwheels is a 16″ X 40″ table runner.  Also included in the pattern are instructions for placemats.  These would make a great gift or keep them for yourself!  Change the fabric and you’ll have Pink Pinwheels, or Posie Pinwheels, or . . .

Have fun with all of Arlene’s designs and when you are finished, check out the rest of the quilt patterns at QuiltersWarehouse.com.
