Description:

This is a nice simple embroidery swap for us redwork lovers! You will stitch 2 redwork 'penny squares' approx 6"x6" in size and send them to your partner. Nothing fancy, just a nice simple swap in the post-holiday season. Plenty of time to sign up and send out, no stress!

Whats a penny square? "In America, dry goods stores sold 6 inch muslin squares marked with a variety of designs for a penny each. These "penny squares" are often seen incorporated into old Redwork bedspreads and linens. The patterns are usually simple line drawings."

No newbies, no no-sends, no ratings below 4.7. Embroider on muslin, calico, white cotton, anything within that definition.

This swap intrigues me, but I'm going to put it on my watch list for now. I'm very familiar with redwork - love it! - but had not heard of "penny squares". What a neat idea. Gaye

I'm a "newbie" here...but I would LOVE to participate in this swap! I love embroidery and redwork.

I'd love to do this swap as redwork is a favorite of mine, but I assume I am a "newbie" as I have only received two ratings so far on the five swaps I have completed since I started doing swaps a few weeks ago. I'll put this on watch and hope to hear back, thanks!
