| 'REDWORK' INSPIRES NEW
FABRIC LINE
The Michigan State University Museum worked with fabric designer
Susie Osburn to create "Redworks," a reproduction fabric line from
Windham
Fabrics released this fall.
Redwork is a style of decorative needlework so-named because the
technique usually entails using red thread to embroider designs
onto a plain white background. It is also the focus of a special
exhibition, "Redwork: A Textile Traditon in America,"
in the Heritage Gallery. An online version of the exhibit is featured
at the national Quilt Index research and reference website.
The "Redworks" fabric line includes designs
drawn from four quilts in the MSU Museum's Kitty Clark Cole Collection
made circa 1890-1900, the time period when Redwork was most popular.
